Dec   1.........300+, at 8:30 A.M.--350+ at 9:05 A.M.----50+ at 3:30 P.M.
Dec   2........   65, flying south, up the river beside our house--low enough 
to see their backs. Probably spent the night on the mudflats as we had heard 
them go down behind the bluff just north of our house the night before.  Their 
wild call never fails to give me an emotional stir.
