Hi Tweets,

A short hop around Lost Lagoon in Vancouver BC's Stanley Pk., and a very
partial survey including only a few species I had time to count.

Conditions: as for Stanley Park Sea-wall 2/10/96, except Lagoon 5%
ice-covered; tide state not applicable.

Ring-necked Duck 5 (3m 2f, 2 prs)
Greater Scaup 52
Lesser Scaup 2,195*
Common Goldeneye 81
Barrow's Goldeneye 7
Ruddy Duck 4 (3m 1f)
Fox Sparrow 2 (1 sooty, 1 grey-hd)

*the remnant, according to someone who observed previous flyout, which
remained after flyout of appx. 2,500 LESC to the W over the Outer Harbor.
This gives a provisional total of about 4,700 Lesser Scaup on Lost Lagoon.
Or more, if there had been previous unseen flyouts.
