Also, a small horde of 20-30 Ring-necked Ducks, a few Gadwalls & Mallards, a single American Black Duck, four Bald Eagles, and at least four Hooded Mergansers. For some reason, I couldn't get anyone to pay attention to any of these birds. They were all distracted by some rarity from Asia or something.
