The layout of the lake has many small fingers that provide shelter, shallow water and many dense areas of Willow and Cottonwood trees. On my last couple of visits, California Gulls, Ring-billed Gulls, Ruddy Ducks, Common Gallinule, Western Grebe, Eared Grebe and Pied-billed Grebes were on the water.

Mandarin Ducks, Munich, Germany. And they aren’t nearly as famous as the vagrant/escaped Mandarin Duck of Central Park. But they were still Mandarin Ducks! But the Kentish Plover was sheltering its young under its body, and the Little Ringed Plover was incubating an egg — right in the middle of downtown Madrid!

Pileated Woodpecker. There are four scenic overlooks, a woodpecker viewing area, a migratory duck pond, and access to The Appalachian Trail. Accommodations (100-room lodge, 30 cottages, 105 tent/RV/trailer campsites, and 16 shelters) make for relaxed birding on 12 miles of trails and lakeside. Photo by © Mike Kendrick.

It is a sheltered area with numerous picnic tables for the people visiting and bird feeders for the feathered variety of visitors. Walking fast in the drizzle we accidentally flushed a Green Woodpecker and it was rather vocal as it took off. Incidentally I don’t have any photographs of Green Woodpeckers !

Filling the niche of the woodpecker here they use their small and long bills to explore and hammer through rotting wood and bark for insects. Also on the ground you’ll see your first Finsch’s Duck. The sheltered bays of the Coromandel are home to another endemic, the Southern Merganser.

Many of the ducks will be familiar to Nearctic birders, but Common Pochard , Tufted Ducks and Spot-billed Ducks may be new. Reeds attract Meadow Buntings and Reed Buntings and provide shelter for little fish which, in their turn attract Great Egrets , Little Egrets and Grey Herons.
