Everything is much the same as yesterday, except we added a Canvas-back,
Ring-neck and Ruddy Ducks to the list.  I had a report of another Snow
Goose sighting...this time just one.  List of our sightings below.

Here is a link to my picture of the Snow Geese I got yesterday.:

And one to one of the many Tundra Swans (so many that eBird hit a count red
flag...:-D ):

Ice report...duck ponds along Herr and SR95 are pretty much thawed...still
a little ice but it is opening.  Field puddles are wet and draining. Main
containment ponds everywhere else are still icy...so ducks are holding in
the pond along Herr Rd and 95 and in the fields until more open up.

God bless and happy birding!
