Two hours at the Mucklands and the roost flight appeared to be into the mucks rather than away from them. Many gulls (1000), most very distant, and mostly Herring with some Ring-bills mixed in. Good numbers of distant ducks but I could only find 3 species. Snow goose numbers building from 1

Ann Mitchell I did some local birding this morning, starting with tracking down the female Green-winged Teal which Jeff Gerbracht reported yesterday and Ken Rosenberg reported on New Year's Day behind Wegmans. Could this be the same bird year after year? Please someone check how far back there
