It was a beautiful still day for birding.  We tallied 68 species + 3 other 
taxa. Bird of the day was a Roseate Spoonbill at Dead Woman Pond.  We were able 
to count over 800 Northern Pintails.  The distant Smartweed was full of ducks 
but they were too distant to ID most.  We estimated there were at least 3000 
ducks. Ducks we were able to ID were Gadwall, American Wigeon, Mallard, 
Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal and Redhead. Yellow-rumped Warblers     
were present along with a Nashville a Warbler or two. Winter sparrows are 
starting to arrive.  We saw Song Sparrows, White-throated and White-crowned. 
Merlin was seen again at Dead Woman Pond.
