When I arrived at about 11:30 A.M only the 3 Snow Geese were present as
Daryl indicated, but at 12:00 noon the Ross's flew in with a small flock of
Canada Geese, swam around for about 10 minutes, then tucked its bill in and
rested. It was straight out from the parking lot of Selnik Park.

After church this morning I headed for Kewaunee.  At the park south of the
lighthouse were THREE Snow Geese and after some searching the Ross's Goose
came into view behind the numerous Canadas.  Also present was a MALE Am
Wigeon, plus two large rafts on the lake, one of C. Goldeneyes and the other
Greater Scaup.  There were only a limited number of gulls present, all
Herrings except for a first yr Thayer's.  In regard to the wigeon and
Ross's, the wigeon swam in from the south, then disappeared later.  The
Ross's kept working to the south, eventually disappearing far to the south.
The 3 Snow Geese also worked south but they were still visible when I
prepared to leave after 1.5 hours here.
In the Kewaunee harbor the main part by the highway is frozen.  The entire
harbor itself is open and had several hundred goldeneyes, plus
3 Lesser Scaup (1m, 2f), 4 male Ring-necked Ducks and a female Canvasback,
plus the two standard mergansers, Greater Scaup, 2 Black Ducks but oddly no
Mallards.

At Bay Beach Sanctuary in Green Bay there are FOUR N. Pintails (2
pairs) in with the geese, Mallards and Black Ducks.  They were present in
the limited open water in back of the residence home.

At the mouth of the Fox River were a pair of Hooded Mergansers, 9 DC
Cormorants, 2 White Pelicans plus standard ducks, 10 Bald Eagles and a few
Herring Gulls.
