When I arrived there were about 150 scaup on the lake and in the next 45 minutes all left in groups of 10-20 birds. I did find the two female BARROW'S GOLDENEYES, which was nice. I met Rosalie Lefkowitz who had had the same experiences. While talking at the culvert at the entrance to the Mountain View Forebay, we noticed the female ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD foraging and then saw her go to the nest in a nearby pine, as previously reported. Based on Bob Reiling's useful note in the afternoon, indicating that the Tufted Duck had been seen at sunset the previous evening, I visited Shoreline this evening, arriving at 5:10 pm. I took a position on the SW shore and noted quite a few folks on the NW shore. They didn't seem to be focused on anything so I started to scan the ducks (few scaup were present) and was lucky to find the male TUFTED DUCK swimming east with a few Surf Scoters. This bird, with some duskiness on the white sides towards the front and an abrieviated tuft that often was not apparent, sounds the same as the bird reported yesterday. Returning to my car I ran into Al Eisner and Bob Hirt and discovered that they had not seen the bird. In the fading light they raced back to the lake . . . (to be continued).
