Greylag Goose, Ruddy Shelduck, Tundra Swan and others
The Greylag Goose, Ruddy Shelduck, and Tundra Swan are settling in for a long winter stay. Duck numbers are also increasing. Quite a few have turned up at the dam, but without a scope they're just too far away…
A Grey-lag Goose with no wariness at all, settled into wintering mode alongside a Bean Goose.
A Bean Goose always in the company of the Grey-lag Goose. For a while there were about 40 birds combined — Bean Geese, Greater White-fronted Geese, and Lesser White-fronted Geese — but now it's just these two.
