In view of the extreme warming for the past 2 days, we guessed that the
new-created ponds in the Beauvue community near Leonardtown might be
open and hosting some hard-find-in-St Mary's inland ducks, so we
continued down to them after the Barrow's G-e. We were not disappointed.
The list:
Mute Swan 4
Tundra Swan 14
Ring-neck Duck 170
REDHEAD 5
Am Widgeon ~12
Gadwall 10
Hooded Merganser 8
Ruddy Duck 24
These scattered unevenly over 3 of the ponds, others being empty.
A Red-tailed Hawk also made a colorful showing.
