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.
