We hit the Cranberry Reservoir this AM and found the 3 REDHEADS that John
Hubbell had yesterday. There was also a GREEN-WINGED TEAL and 4 RUDDY DUCKS.
And billions of geese and gulls - no we didn't scan for anything magical
like a Cackling or some exotic gull like a Ross'. If somebody with more time
and patience wants to try that, help yourself. We could not find the Pintail
that John reported.

Yesterday in AA we got several nice ducks, including a REDHEAD near Thomas
Point, where we also got SURF SCOTERS, plenty of LONG-TAILED and one female
RED-BREASTED MERG and some BUFFLEHEADS and SCAUP (most appeared to be
GREATER). The REDHEAD was sorted out of a gigantic raft of CANVASBACKS. A
nice lady let us borrow her back yard to scan the herd.
