The heavy rain and high wind served us well last night. A major fallout
occurred in most of the county. Most of the birds were water fowl. High
numbers were found on Kiamesha Lake, Yankee Lake, Morningside Park and Swan
Lake. Lesser numbers were found at the Bashakill. Here is a list of the birds
of most interest. I think some may set a one day record. Many Ring-necks,
Bufflehead, Scaup, Common Mergansers were at the various sites.
