This should be a very productive event. This afternoon at the  access I
observed a large flock of goldeneyes (100+), a dozen or so  bufflehead, a like
number of common mergansers, a few black ducks, and the  usual resident mallards.
Overseeing all of this was an immature red-tailed hawk.  Across the road a
short way down the path flanking the Nature Conservancy land,  I encountered,
amazingly, a great blue heron in flight.
