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.
