I spent a couple of hours looking through the ducks at LaDue this afternoon. There is a really large number of buffleheads on the reservoir. I counted 700, mainly in three large rafts. Also a nice variety of other ducks including lots of hooded mergansers, ring necked ducks, ruddys, red heads and a. wigeons. Also, the usual three sandhill cranes were hanging around.
