Gibson County Lake,<br/>East of Trenton, Gibson County<br/>January 10-11,
2014<br/><br/>I went by Gibson County Lake this afternoon to what changes had
occurred. The mix of birds was very different from yesterday. Yesterday I had
150 Canada Geese, 8 Gr. White-fronted Geese, 200 Mallards, 31 Gadwall, 12 Am.
Wigeon, 2 N. Pintail, 8 N. Shovelers, 3 Green-winged Teal, 64 Canvasback, 6
Redheads, 45 Ring-necked Ducks, 4 Lesser Scaup, 8 Common Goldeneye, and 6 Ruddy
Ducks. There were also 8 Am. Coots, 6 Ring-billed Gulls, one Bonaparte's Gull,
and a lone Bald Eagle. No loons, grebes, or scoters were seen. <br/><br/>What a
difference a day makes! Today there were no geese and only a sprinkling of
Mallards. There was one Canvasback, 2 Common Goldeneye, a female COMMON
MERGANSER, and 6 Ruddy Ducks. Whiile scoping the open water, I came across two
loons - one Common Loon and one RED-THROATED LOON! I continued to scope and
came across a group of 6 Horned Grebes with
one RED-NECKED GREBE! I also caught a brief glimpse of a WHITE-WINGED SCOTER
in flight, presumably the same bird I saw earlier in the week. There were also
40 Am. Coots and one Bald Eagle.<br/><br/>I've been out there 4 times this week
and its been different almost every day.<br/>I can't wait to see what shows up
there next!<br/><br/>I had a single Fish Crow in a flock of Am. Crows just west
of Trenton on Hwy. 104.<br/><br/>Good birding!<br/><br/>Mark Greene
