Birds and casual estimates of numbers seen are below. We were surprised to find a domestic goose in with the Canadas; all white plumage with a very thick neck and its rear riding high in the water. Two Bald Eagles together were also pleasant. Found my new L.L. Bean fleece-lined jeans to be toasty warm!
