An American Wigeon was sighted today in the company of 50 mottled ducks and a mixed flock of 35 cormorants and anhingas. The high winds of Friday night forced all the anhingas and cormorants to roost on the ground adjacent to the canal. Normally they roost in the Australian Pines.
The wigeon was a surprise. That marks the first time one was seen here since we started tracking birds in 1996.
Bobcat tracks still appear weekly but no sighting now since October 3. Raccoon had a litter of three and mom has about had it with them so they should be parting soon. Vultures are passing overhead, southbound, by the score and red-shoulderd hawk and cooper's hawk check in daily and a dove checks out.
