Yesterday, Wednesday, at about 4:00, there were at least 170 Hooded
Mergansers along the far edge of the pond northwest of the Rt 2 / Rt 269  interchange
in Bayview.  They can be viewed from the small area where  fishermen often
park, but a scope is needed.  They can also be seen, with  difficulty as you take
the westbound ramp onto Rt 2 to cross the bay.

Medusa Marsh still had some open water, with many geese and Mallards and
some Gadwall and Black Duck.   There may have been other species  present, but
the phragmites now makes viewing much more difficult.
