Barbara and I found 2 Common Loons in breeding plumage on Pierce Lake at Rock Cut SP this morning. They were visible from the Red Oak picnic area, one was east, the other west along the north shore of the lake. 6 Horned Grebes were on th elake, 5 closer to the Lions Club fishing pier and another along the north shore of the lake. They were all mostly in basic plumage.

Also on Pierce Lake was Red-breasted Merganser and some Ruddy Ducks. There were a lot of fishermen, so the birds might be flushed off of the lake quickly.

A lot of Poine Siskins and 6 Red-breasted Nuthatches (including 2 obvious pairs) were in the White Pines along the main loop road just east of the entrance drive to Red Oak.

Olson Lake had N. Shovelers, Hooded Mergansers, Buffleheads, Lesser and Greater (2) Scaup, and a Common Goldeneye.
