Les -- In the morning at this time of year you are looking directly into the sun, as you stand on the north side and look SE towards the (southern) jetty where all the seaducks are. We have been twice in last month, first time was hard due to sun, next time it was cloudy so was pretty good. Don't forget to check the West OC Pond as there has been a Eurasian Wigeon there off and on (with American W.) Have a good time! Gail Mackiernan gail@umdd.umd.edu
