Waterfowl were very abundant especially Canada Geese which numbered in the
many, many thousands on both sides of the road. It would be interesting to
know the total number throughout the refuge. There was some open water with
large numbers of ducks. Highlights of the day included:
25 TUNDRA SWANS
60+ Gr. Wh.-fronted
2 Snow Geese
Am. Black Duck
Many Mallards
Northern Pintail
Northern Shoveler
American Wigeon
Canvasback
Redhead
100+ Ring-necked Ducks.
Ended the day on the Sinclair Unit of the Peabody WMA watching Northern
Harriers and watching and listening to at least 2 Short-eared Owls. It was
the first time I have  heard them "bark" at one another. Interesting sound!
