Hi all,
 Before yesterdays MOS BOD mtg at Black Hill, I was watching waterfowl  from 
the deck and earlier from the bridge. From the bridge I saw at least 3  
Canvasbacks, 4 Pied-billed Grebes, lots of coots, Ruddy Ducks, Buffleheads, and  a 
pair of REDHEADs, and Ring-necked Ducks.
 
From the deck, much of the same, but just before the meeting, shortly after  
9, we had a really large flock of approx. 500-600 ring-necked Ducks flying 
very  high due south. It was quite a spectacle, with the white undersides 
flashing  white like snowflakes in the sun. They were in many small V's intermingling 
 within the entire flock, forming a beautiful pattern against the blue sky.
