Highlights: Snow Goose - 33 (18 white phase & 15 blues with 3 immatures of each) Gadwall - 4 N. Shoveler - 5-10 Scaup (prob. Lesser - heads tucked in) - at least 2 LONG-TAILED DUCK - 1 (female) Bufflehead - 2 (both female) Hooded Merganser - 100 +/- Red-br. Merganser - 4 or more Ruddy Duck - 50 + Pied-billed Grebe - 5-10 Black Vulture - 3 Bonaparte's & Ring-billed Gulls - several hundred each Herring Gull - a handful probably others I missed!
