The island is freezing in quickly. The last ferry was this PM. In the open waters around the island are thousands of ducks. Appears to be mostly scaup, mergansers, goldeneye, and Buffleheads. Was surprised to find several American Pipits on the eastside. One posed on the telephone wire for a photo. Tom -- H.
