Waterfowl were decent today with a nice variety and gulls were a bit slow. I had 3 white-winged scoters, 2 black scoters, and a long-tailed duck. This is the first time in a long time I have had all three scoters in the month of January and all three from the yard. The feeders were about the same with a single siskin and redpoll and no crossbill.
