Hi all yesterday 2-20-12 after work I made a quick stop at the CBEC in Grasonville to look for the recently reported Eurasian Wigeon. Arriving at 4:00 Pm I had to work through the far flock of American Wigeon and Coots quickly as 5:00 pm is closing time . Lighting was great unlike on Sunday when I tried looking like Dan Haas did and gave up . I had also tried on Saturday afternoon ducks were mostly hidden then . The Eurasian Wigeon was there and could be picked out after carefull scoping . Afterward I went to little Creek Boat Landing on kent Island scoping the the waters there till sundown . species list , Locations , Numbers below .
