Around 3 PM there was a large number of waterfowl at Melvin Gravel Pit in Clinton County with a limited number of species. There were 300+ Mallards (a very conservative number) so bunched together it  was impossible to count them. There were also:

14  Black Ducks
4   Pintail
16 Ring-necked Ducks
2   Ruddy Ducks
6   Canada Geese
1   Pied-billed Grebe
6   Coots

Part of the water is still frozen but the birds were using the open water and many of them sitting on the ice. If this many stay around they will most certainly attract additional species.
Mild Weather Cheers,   Larry Gara
