For anyone interested and available, I'm going to be at the VT side of 
the Wilder Dam this Friday to observe the waterfowl roosting 
assemblage.  I'll plan to be there by 5 pm and stay until it's too dark 
to see, probably sometime between 5:45 and 6 pm.  This is an intriguing 
spectacle, dominated by Common and Hooded Mergansers, with interesting 
behaviors to observe and always the possibility of an unexpected 
overnight visitor (Green-winged Teal in January, Common Goldeneye last 
week).

Please dress warmly and bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you 
have them.

Chris
