Yesterday Bill and I enjoyed the snow on Wye Island.  We spotted a raft =
of Canvasbacks(200 birds) and Ruddy Ducks north of the bridge going onto =
the island.  On one of the ponds we saw 125 N. Pintails plus Mallards =
and  A. Black Ducks. On the south side of the island we spotted Scaup, =
Buffleheads and Tundras on the water.  In one of the fields near the =
paved turn-around we saw 75 A. Pipits and 6 Meadowlarks. Last week this =
field had Horned Larks in it. At the end of the dirt road the fields =
yielded 13 Savannah Sparrows. We were happy to see a White-breasted =
Nuthatch as we had not seen one here before. It's funny how the =
"ordinary" birds can thrill us. We were looking for a Fox and =
White-crowned Sparrow, but no luck. We ended up with a total of 44 =
species.
