I have been to a park opposite Ft Hunt at a National Park site on Wharf Road off Farmington, is this the same place? If so, on March 2nd I saw 250 Canvasback there, about 200 Scaup, 2 red breasted mergansers, 100 Ruddies and 2 mute swans. Two weeks later, March 16th, everything was on the North side of the inlet, and as was noted, not much was left. All canvasback and geese were gone. The Scaup was down to 30, but all 100 ruddies were still there. At School House Pond dabblers were also down. Only 8 Northern Shovelers were left. Wood Ducks were back though. Two mute swans were still there.
