This weekend I counted on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. To say that Saturday was slow would be a monumental understatement. Very few birds were counted throughout the day, although the diversity was not bad. It was just that only one or two birds was typical for a species. American Crows flew over from the Upper Peninsula in good numbers with 205 being counted, but that was about it. Anyway, here are Saturday’s numbers.
| Species | East | West |
| Double-crested Cormorant | 0 | 2 |
| Shorebird Sp. | 0 | 1 |
| Mallard | 5 | 0 |
| Horned Grebe | 0 | 1 |
| Common Loon | 1 | 0 |
| Common Goldeneye | 1 | 1 |
| American Wigeon | 3 | 0 |
| American Black Duck | 0 | 1 |
| Lesser Scaup | 0 | 2 |
| Greater Scaup | 2 | 0 |
| Long-tailed Duck | 48 | 23 |
| White-winged Scoter | 0 | 9 |
