My nephew and niece who live near Ashland City have been several times to see them (at my urging) and taken their grandkids. We hope to go back to visit my husband's sister before they leave and see them then. (I have a new 18X optical zoom camera to use). She is only about 6 miles from the site and we were there before the article was published in the paper or posted to this list, so we missed them. :-( Would not be a life bird for us, since we have seen them migrating with the ultralites and also at Aransas WR....

I observed them this morning at a low of 8 degrees F. They were foraging in the thin ice and shallow waters but mostly kept their heads tucked under their wings. A life bird for me.
