Checked out Cheam Lake Wetlands in the afternoon. All the ice was melted away and there was more action on the lake.
Species were:
1 male redhead
36 trumpeter swans
45 canada geese
2 cackling geese
130 lesser scaups
75 ring-necked ducks
8 hooded mergansers
4 common mergansers (all males)
14 bufflehead
Mallards
Wigeon
2 belted kingfishers
About 200 American coots
1 double-crested cormorant
And for daily bummer:
2 rats of the vehicle-breaking-in species.
Dirtbags. Got a vauge description through the binoculars. Didnt get a chance to digiscope them from the viewpoint. Be careful with your vehicle and belongings!
Some pictures.
The swans were fairly close and offered nice views.
