On the ice there were 10 Bald Eagles (all ages), as well as at least 5000 gull sp. In the water I counted 11,000 ducks. I didnt have my scope and they were all back lit. I could tell that at least 2/3 of them were Common Mergansers. They were large numbers of Lesser Scaup too. Tomorrow morning I plan on returning to the area when the light is better. With that many Ducks and Gulls there is bound to be something interesting out there. Good Birding, Chris Starling ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
