Several birds of interest were found in the rain at Hoover Reservoir.  Near
the boardwalk there were various areas of the lake where the ice was
breaking up.  A large area of open water was found near the osprey nesting
platform.  In this spot was one blue-phased snow goose mixed with many
Canada Geese.  Also located with the geese were 15 ring-necked ducks, a
pintail and many black ducks and mallards.  It is also likely that some
scaup and gadwall were mixed in the flock although they were quite far out.
 Area D also had open water.  At this location there were about 5 hooded
mergansers and a female common goldeneye.
