Very = high winds made for hard scoping - it took me a long time to find this = bird, which was in the big impoundment along the east of Riley Roberts Rd. = just after you emerge from the trees and into the open (very nearly = opposite the "oyster shell parking lot"). Other birds of interest: Great Egret - seven wind blown birds in a tight knit flock along what is = called Game Reserve Road in my Delorme, the first road into the WMA = (called by some on this list Gun Club Rd., I believe). These seemed a bit = early... Tricolored Heron - several A good selection of ducks, including 2 Black Ducks and many, many = Green-winged Teal - and I've never seen so many American Wigeon! Lesser Yellowlegs - two I didn't have the time to check other places along the way to and from = Deal Island because it took so long to find a Eurasian Wigeon. Like = finding a needle in a haystack on a day like yesterday...
