This is a short report of birds at Wildfowl Trust of North America at Horsehead Wetlands Center in Grasonville, Queen Anne's County, MD on Jan 21st, 2001. 3 or 4 American Tree Sparrows in scrub at Chesapeake Bay Pond More than 400 Canvasback and 500 Bufflehead at Observation Tower; 74 Tundra Swans along with 21 Gadwall, 4 Bufflehead, 3 Common Goldeneye and several Bufflehead and a very nice close up of a pair of adult Bald Eagle doing aggressive display in the air at end of Marshy Creek Trail known as Canoe Landing. 18 Am. Black Duck at Cabin Creek Rd, just outside of Horsehead alogn with 4 Mute Swan and two Black Vulture. 19 Ruddy Ducks and 1 Canvasback at end of Bryantown Landing on Wye River, off Bennett Point Rd near Horsehead. My friend at Horsehead report to me that he saw over 2000, yes two thousand Canvasback on Sat and 300 Goldeneyes on Fri and I miss it by a day and two. That's impressive. The last time I had over thousands of ducks in one species was Ruddy Duck which i had about 3000 or 4000 last winter or two winter ago here at Horsehead. This report was at Prospect Bay, the private property inside Horsehead. The only way to get there was to get a permission from the staff and me. I usually get small groups of birders up there two years ago and the Baltimore Bird Club groups last fall.
