Subject: [MDOSPREY] RFI: Cambridge/Choptank Ducks 

I was thinking about going back to Cambridge on Sunday to have a final look 
at the ducks on the Choptank. 
We seem to  have lost a lot of ducks of the Potomac here around D.C. 
If anyone could let me know by Saturday night what the current situation is 
on the Choptank, 
 I'd be most appreciative. Particularly interested in Goldeneye and Scoters. 
Many Thanks,
