VABIRDers,
I went birding on the colonial parkway (between Williamsburg and the 
Gloucester bridge) for the first time today and saw lots of ducks.  I 
didn't keep a running tally, but here are some estimates:
 >500 ruddy ducks
 >50 bufflehead
 >50 red-breasted mergansers
~25 redheads
~25 canvasbacks
~10 scaup sp. (lesser I think)
a pair of common goldeneyes
1 white-wing scoter (with eye-patch of white)

Other bonuses:
1 bald eagle
~20 horned grebes
3 kingfishers
15 tundra swans
5 common loons
herring, great black-back, and ring-billed gulls

Good Birding!
-Ariel White
