Numbers of Lesser Scaup seem to be accumulating on the Willamette below
Broadway Bridge. When first noticed a week ago, I estimated approx 170. This
morning there were more than 400. I've no idea if this is in any way
remarkable.

Max Planck is supposed to have said: A new scientific truth does not triumph by
convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather
because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that
is familiar with it.Andreas Wagner observed of Planck's remark: Science, like
nature, advances one funeral at a time. (Arrival of the Fittest, p.197)
