We saw 11 different species of duck (immature Long-tail which landed right in front of us was the standout!) in good numbers near the visitor's center.  There were also some Snow Geese and Domestic Geese, mixed in with the grazing Canadas, as well as a strange goose which resembled a Canada Goose (x Domestic?) hybrid (black bill and neck and proportions of CG,but white head and lower neck (where CG neck would still be black) and yellow-orange feet.

The woods were also full of birds:  Brown Creeper, Winter Wren, GC Kinglet, YB Sapsucker, YR Warbler, Bluebird, and the usual feeder crowd.  Two adult Bald Eagles were perched by the dam across from the pull-off at the Boyds end of the causeway.
