1/4/10
I arrived at Uniontown Dam at 7:45AM, 9º clear, and walked the weir,
left at 8:45AM.
A stiff NW wind, 'steam' still rising off the water above and below
the dam.
As I hoped a little more activity than on Saturday.

I followed the road around near the river to 268. Passed just a few
other Horned Larks.
The Sloughs area that is still having water pumped in had Mallards,
Widgeons, and a few Yellowlegs. Very difficult to see them.
They were at the far end of the field where the water is not frozen
and creating heat waves and 'steam'.
At Wood Tract several thousand Snow Geese high overhead wandering
around; I assume looking for open water.
They eventually headed off north.
Next I drove Tram Road, and West Franklin Road: nothing much to report
from that area.
