Overall conditions around here have been less than ideal for migration but some new stuff has continued to arrive with an obvious movement of birds yesterday when we had a brief period of warmer weather with slightly better conditions. I have included a couple of lists from yesterday showing the decent numbers of a few species moving. I also had a couple of partially leucistic birds yesterday including an American Robin and a Canada Goose.

Today was rainy and cool and the only notable species brought down by the rain were three Lesser Scaup at Winsor Dam first thing in the morning.

I also checked the duck boxes at home once again and for the first time I have two boxes being used with full clutches of eggs. I still don't know what species I have but I have always had Hooded Mergansers but Wood Ducks are certainly a good possibility.
