Tucked hard against Mill Pond west shore, sheltered from fierce winds; 5 prs. wood ducks, 4 male hooded megansers, 1 female red-breasted merganser
Other: redheads, buffles, mallards, ring-billed ducks, 1 Canada, (?) scaup, gadwall, coot, 2 horned grebes (still!!) No wigeon. A rustic-looking gazebo has recently been put between the sidewalk & the pond!! Unfortunately, it appears that it will have not sheltering roof. Maybe, in due time. Hope so. No snows seen here yet. Much snow has melted leaving LOTS of bare ground & mud. 43 deg.. Strong wind from north. Gas is $3.61.9.
