I was at both of these locations on Saturday, February 12. There is a considerable amount of open water at both locations. I did not find a Redhead, but there were numerous Canvasbacks at both places. All wigeons were American. No longspurs or Snow Buntings seen by me. Best bird on rte 376 heading into Berlin was an immature Rough-legged Hawk.
