I made a morning visit to Bob Wentz/Windy Point Park yesterday. As Arman,
mentioned, there were several large rafts of ducks out towards dam. For the
most part, they seemed to be Gadwall and American Wigeon with several other
species mixed in. Most noteworthy was a single, female Red-breasted Merganser.
I also had the Brown Booby flying northwest up the channel back towards the
marinas where we assume it is roosting.

I had a large flock (80+) of Geese fly over Windy Point this afternoon
around 5pm. Most were Snow but there were a few Ross's Geese mixed in. Also
a few dark morphs or Blue Geese. Both were county lifers for me and put me
over 300 species in the county. Pics here:

Lots of other ducks starting to settle in. I noted Redheads, Northern
Shovelers and Blue-wing Teal but don't have a scope so was unable to
determine what was in some of the large rafts out towards the dam.
