On Mill Pond, in Hillsburgh, at around 10:30 this morning, there were 9 Ring-necked ducks, a pair of Hooded mergansers, a few Common Mergansers, a number of Bufflehead ducks, as well as a mating pair of tagged Trumpeter swans (tags 981 and E51). There were also at least 2 Eastern Phoebes along with a number of female robins in the bullrushes beside the library. A kingfisher could also be heard across the pond.

Mill Pond is behind the libary and Foodland in Hillsburgh, located about 20 minutes north of Georgetown on Trafalgar Road.

Good birding.
