I visited Chesapeake Environmental Center this afternoon for a few hours and 
was able to pick up a nice diversity of waterfowl.  Lake Knapp held serveral 
gadwall, pintail, lesser scaup, green-winged teal, widegon and a lone ruddy. 
  Out at the canoe launch there was a flock of about 1,000 ruddy ducks, 
200-300 scaup, 20 canvasback and 1 redhead.  Also 10 horned grebes and 2 
pied-billed.  New spring birds for me were 3 pine warblers, 2 tree swallows 
and 3 opsrey.  Had 1 bald eagle flyover and scare up all the ducks at Knapp. 
  My last bird of the day was a brown-headed nuthatch heard from the parking 
lot.

Good Birding
