Maren Gimpel and I searched all over Queen Anne's County for most of the day looking for waterfowl. We didn't find much to look at until we got to the bay as most fields and private ponds were occupied by decoys and hunters. Though we didn't find anything unusual, the numbers of ducks on the bay was impressive. Below are the numbers from the two Bay locations, nothing else of much interest from inland ponds.
