Just got back from a late afternoon jaunt to Deer Creek State Park.  In the
area just south of the Marina (I call it the Route 207 inlet) there were
lots of puddle ducks and a few Buffleheads.  Among 2 dozen Am. Widgeon was
one male Eurasian Widgeon.  There were lots of Green-winged Teal, Northern
Shovelers, Mallards, Gadwalls, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Pintails and a
few Black Ducks.  Saw my first Purple Martin of the year.  There were also
Herring Gulls, and Bonaparte's Gulls in all stages of changing plumage.
Lots of Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs.  An Osprey flew by.

On Crownover Mill Road in a flooded field near the beach were Wilson Snipe
and Blue-winged Teal.
