Observations

  1. Number observed:  1

    Details

    flyover within a Canada geese flock, obvious white goose around the same size as the Canada geese. I saw several earlier this morning mixed in with the canada geese flocks on Jackson valley road so maybe it was one of those birds.

  2. Number observed:  3

    Details

    No photos as I didn't realize they would be rare. Small Branta geese with thick necks, short stubby bills, a much smaller size than Canada goose, and white collars at the base of the neck.

    Details

    Probably five, as one was on the opposite end of the lake from the others, but there was no way of telling. There were three females and one immature male. The females were small mergansers with no white on their chins, less white on their chests than a common merganser would have, and no clean border between red and white on the chest. several photos including one that shows three at once.

    Details

    Swam in from San Joaquin County. They were easy to separate from the common loons as they were smaller, were more of a light grey color, had a less blocky head with a smaller bill than a common loon, no partial collar, and a strait grey and white line running down the neck. Some of them also showed chinstraps. many photos.
