Unfortunately I could not go farther west than Little Meadows Lake so Hans and John or others will have to fill you in on western Garrett County and add to whatever I missed at the above sites. Ruddy Ducks were all over in large numbers; surprisingly no loons or mergansers so there are lots more waterfowl to come.
