A quick dawn trip to Little Dixie Lake in Callaway Co was very productive. A late tree swallow was over the water. Late date is Nov 24 in Robbins and Easterla 1992. Other birds of interest: Common Loon 7 Horned Grebe 1 D. C. Cormorant 1 Mallard 2 Gadwall 10 Lesser Scaup 150 Ring-necked Duck 20 Bufflehead 6 Ruddy Duck 5 Red-breasted Merganser 2 American Coot 7 Ring-billed Gull 1 Tree Swallow 1 The diversity of the birds today on Little DIxie tells me that there might be a lot of birds out on other lakes in this overcast weather and that a lake check might be a good thing to do soon.
