   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 .
