Between 2:15 and 2:30 pm today an adult and immature were present with the Canadas. They were bathing, and had just hauled out to dry, so I expect they will linger a bit. There aretwo open patches of water, one by the Concession Stand, the other off the Boat Ramp. There were plenty of Canadas and Mallards, neither of which I counted. The waterfowl present were: Snow Goose - 2 Black Duck 1 Canvasback 2 Ring-necked Duck - 29 Ruddy Duck - 16 Hooded Merganser - 5 There were also several dozen Ring-billed Gulls present.
