The flight of waterfowl today was remarkable.  There was a constant movement
of birds all morning.  The lake was 95% frozen so birds were all over the
lake.  I'm guessing I had 10,000 unidentified waterfowl that were just too
far out.  Of note were 2 white-fronted geese and a Ross' goose, and a little
gull.  In all 25 species of waterfowl.
