~I have this as a Greater Scaup based on the shape of its head – to me it has a pretty evenly domed rear crown. Glenmere Lake, 4\/15\/15.~\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

QUICK POST:<\/strong> There has been some interesting waterfowl movement in Orange County in recent weeks, which I have not posted about here on the blog. I have reported a couple of times recently to the Mearns Bird Club, but between not having much\u00a0time and honestly not getting any good photos (most birds have been quite distant), I haven’t posted here. Here’s list of highlights from some of my recent sightings:<\/p>\n

4\/9\/15, Greenwood Lake<\/strong>: 11 Common Loon<\/p>\n

4\/9\/15, Glenmere Lake:<\/strong> 11 Bufflehead, 3 Common Merganser, 1 Ruddy Duck, 6 Common Loon, 1 Red-necked Grebe<\/strong><\/p>\n

4\/14\/15, Glenmere Lake:<\/strong> 10 Bufflehead, 8 Scaup (Lesser??? I’m not sure, these birds were very distant), 3 Common Loon, 9 Horned Grebe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today – 4\/15\/15, Glenmere Lake:<\/strong> 3 Bufflehead, 1 Greater Scaup, 2 Common Loon<\/p>\n

*One final exciting thing for me – my Canon 70D is repaired and has been shipped back to me. I’m not sure when it will arrive, but hopefully for the weekend!<\/p>\n

~I have seen many Common Loons this spring, but I’m yet to have one close enough for a decent photo. This one was at Glenmere Lake on 4\/14\/15.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
