Mosquito L. continues to host hundreds of puddle ducks. The Hoagland-Blackstub Rd. pulloff on the NW shore remains the best single spot for waterfowl and shorebird viewing. Wildlife Area ponds and cornstubble fields and of course the causeway are also worth checking. Mahan-Denman Rd. was pretty good for passerines.
