Waterfowl continues to arrive as November marches steadily toward December although in lesser numbers and variety than expected which is likely due to lots of open water to the north of us. Over the last few days I have managed to find 14 species of waterfowl including all three species of mergansers, two Red throated Loons (one at Arcadia and another at Beaver Lake) and a Cackling Goose in among Canada Geese this morning in Hadley.  Other notable species in the last few days include a Short eared Owl at Arcadia and an American Woodcock still flight displaying in Hadley.
