Hi all,

  Decided to make a short visit to Blue Mash Trail in Olney yesterday.  Not much activity.
The big pond had skim ice so the waterfowl (Ring necked Ducks & Mallards) were concertrated
in one area. Same for the small pond, which held 1 Bufflehead drake, Hoodies and Ring necked.
Went to Centential in HoCo late in the day to search out WWCB's but struck out.
