West, east, and north in Henderson Co.
Cold subfreezing temps with west wind.
Surprised to find a lack of geese at the Sauerheber Unit. Found most of the
Snow Geese over at the Indiana side just northwest of Diamond Island.
Several thousand flying around and landing over there. Visible from the boat
ramp near the headquarters.
Finally got a Tundra Swan.
