Saturday, a beautiful crisp clear day with little breeze was a fantastic day to
be outside, and waterfowling best of all. Collen and Bryan Cloyed and myself
birded Great Falls, Riverbend and Algonkian Park. Each location brought
something new. Although the water fowl counts were not the highest they were
different at each locations. Listed are the waterfowl and birds.
