I visited the flooded field behind Russell's Point today to see what was there, and was shocked in two different ways.... The field barely had any water left, but a lot of waterfowl. ( Remember the number of birds seen is estimated !) Mallard- 30 Canada Goose-10 Green Teal- 15 Blue Teal- 15 American Widgon- 20 Ross Goose X Hybrid- 2 Scalp- G ( 3 ) L (2) Redhead- 10 Gadwall- 10 Pintail- 5 EURASIAN WIGEON- 1 male Then we visited the state park to try to see the Sandhill crane best; no luck. But with cool birds on trails.
