Lotsa Loons



At last some larger numbers of waterfowl appeared on Lake Julian in Buncombe 
County south of Asheville.  There were at least 41 Common Loons on the 
railroad track side of the lake, although it was hard to get a complete count 
as they would keep diving again before I could get them all counted.  Almost 
all were in breeding plumage.  There were also 32 Lesser Scaup and 12 
Ring-necked Ducks in the bay near the picnic area.
