Yesterday was a good duck day north of the James as well. I took my 7y/o
daughter to the West Creek Parkway lakes and we found a wide assortment of
species. Big numbers of Buffleheads, Lesser Scaups, and Ruddy Ducks; less
than 10 each of Hooded Mergansers, Green-winged Teals, American Wigeons,
and two lonely Ring-necked Ducks; plus the usual Canada Geese and
Mallards. The highlight of the day was finding a little Horned Grebe. A
Bald Eagle swooped down below the treetops and gave us a great look.
