Very cold (34F) and windy but birds everywhere. Hundreds of Ring0Necked
Ducks, and Ruddy Ducks.  Highlights (for me):

Canvasback - 2, among a flock of Ruddy Ducks
Bonaparte's Gull - 1, hanging with a flock of Ring-Necks

Here's my eBird submission

Also saw a flock of 19 geese, four of which were all white; the rest looked
like the Greater White-Fronted in the field guides - or the Barnyard
Goose.  Anyone familiar with this flock?
