Late this afternoon along the end of VanDyne Spoor Road was an adult drake EURASIAN WIGEON. This bird was in the largest pool of standing water in the mowed portion of the weedy field just before the point where the field transitions to being unmowed.
Other sightings of potential interest in the area were a light morph ROUGH LEGGED HAWK along Carncross Road and at least 15 immature BALD EAGLES at Tschache Pool. There were some snow geese, perhaps 2000 - 3000, in the mucklands behind the Potato Building. I spent some time trying to sift through them as best I could given the distance and conditions, but could not pick a Ross's Goose out of the group.
