80 1933 Jan. 9. Cold morning. Heavy frost on our side of the canyon. Faculty Group went to Lake Meredith to watch ducks. At Embarcadero at 9:15 a.m. ducks were assembled close to the wall awaiting the food which was brought at 9:30. Canvas backs were most numerous. A few Bluebills, Pintails and Baldpates and six or eight Puddies were mixed up with them. There was great excitement and crowding especially when they heard the man approaching with two sacks of grain on a wheeled pushbracket. The ducks heard him before we did. When the food was thrown into the water the Canvas back, Bluebills and Puddies begun to dive while the Pintails and Baldpates fed upon the grains that floated. Later a number of Baldpates came up on to the parapet and among them was a banded European Widgeon. At ten a.m. we watched the feeding at the pen where Pintails were the most abundant, Baldpates next. Only one or possibly two Mallards were seen and three or four Shovelers. A bunch of Canada Geese (12-15) stayed outside at the south end, one of Snow Geese (10-12) were inside. One lone Cackling Goose marched around the pool and one Whitefronted stayed near the Snow Geese. Many byas berries are still on the bushes and flocks of robins and Cedar Waxwings were feeding upon them. Saw two great Hulls in the pen were Bluecrowned both ad. and iro. and Calig. and Ring billed. Loads of Brewer Blackbirds and Pigeons - one with rose pink lining to wings. Cold tule fog.
