I went out to Lakeshore State Park (aka Goosepoop Island).  No snowy owl.  Of 
course I wasn't quite sure where to look but I was around there for maybe 1.5-2 
hours and did not see it.

 

But I did see some ducks

 

Lots of mallards (20+).  
1 bufflehead

Several common goldeneyes including I believe at least one first-year.  Here's

Maybe 10 scaup.  Can someone give me a scaup 101?  Here's a photo I took

 

Are they all the same kind?  I have a guess about this one but I am probably 
wrong.
