Sue and I did a quick loop across the top of Irondequoit Bay from Webster into Irondequoit, then S hitting some of the west side, with a quick run down Hoffman Road.
Hoffman Road quiet except quite a few Am. Robins and 1 Hermit Thrush toward the end. Highlights on the Bay were a Great Egret along the cattails in the NW corner area plus a second on the docks of the old marina on the west side just N of where Orchard Park comes down to the Bay. Also in that area thousands of Red-breasted and Common Mergansers all over the water, over 100 Hooded Mergansers, 30+ Gadwall, scattered
Bonaparte's Gulls, and 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull far down toward the SE corner. Lots of Mute Swans (did not check carefully for other species) and Mallards.
Might be worth a check tomorrow with more time to count and scope.
