Ralph Wall and I braved the cold to  identify  41 species.  On the open water 
above the falls, thanks  to Ralph's scope, we saw canvasback, redhead, lesser 
scaup and ruddy ducks in  addition to our regulars.  A bald eagle was low 
over the river  looking intently for food.  This walk meets at 8:00am on 
Sundays  
in the courtyard of the Visitor's Center -- all are  welcome.
