The opened water on the south side of the Mosquito Lake causeway was larger and held more waterfowl - this afternoon. 

over 100 Red-breasted Mergansers (hard to count cause they were actively diving)  Common Mergansers, Hooded Mergansers,
6 Redhead Ducks, Buffleheads and Coots who were walking on the ice - .   Also on the ice was a very white spotted  Immature Eagle.
A Herring Gull was swooping at the Mergansers.      Adult Bald Eagles around, a male Coopers hawk and a female Harrier in the fields.
