Went for a short walk this morning at Great Falls. Glorious though  
nippy. About 200 ringed-neck ducks upriver, with a roughly 12-15:1  
male to female ratio. One pair of common mergansers with them; no  
eagle as far as I could see.

total:

~200 ringed-neck ducks
2 common mergansers
5 Black ducks
9 Mallards
about a dozen Canada Geese
5 Am. Robins
1 Belted Kingfisher
2 great blue herons
2 chickadees
2 titmice
1 carolina wren
3 turkey vultures
5 black vultures
1 gull sp.

Happy new birds to everyone,

	Evelyn
