A strong north wind made birding for Passerines difficult but there was a large 
number of ducks.  Hard to get accurate estimates on number of ducks and kind 
because of the distance and the high weeds. At times a lot of the ducks would 
take to the air making for an awesome sight. We had a flyby Peregrine Falcon 
and the Northern Harriers were working the marshes. We did have first of season 
Chipping and Vesper Sparrows. American White Pelicans were flying in and out. 
Total species for day was 51 + 3 other taxa.
