A brief early afternoon visit to Kilowatt Park South in the Wilder section of Hartford, VT, enabled viewing of a female Common Goldeneye and two female Hooded Mergansers, all diving in the cool Connecticut River. Much of the water area in sight above the Wilder Dam was ice covered, but the ducks were in a central channel still open. Also at Kilowatt South, a flock of about 27 Canada Geese flew over in southward direction, and a Northern Mockingbird momentarily called while perched high in a tree adjacent to the road passing over the railway.
