This morning, open water at the Ompompanoosuc River mouth held a nice 
assortment of waterfowl, including 2 drake N. Shovelers, 19 Wood Ducks, 
15 Am. Black Ducks, 86 Mallards, and 4 male Ring-necked Ducks.  Three 
adult Ring-billed Gulls were on the ice nearby.

At Campbell Flats a lone Rusty Blackbird was singing its squeaky-hinge 
song in full view along the road.

Oh, and that hybrid grebe I found yesterday?  Nowhere to be seen, though 
the Horned Grebe was still at Kendall Station.
