Viewed from causeway about one third distance north from last house.   Be 
careful traffic mostly considerate but it only takes one!

Protocol: Stationary
Comments:      Observations made from five locations around the marsh. 
Emergent vegetation,  mainly water lily pads, breaking up with cold. Water more 
open.

24 species

Wood Duck  144     Probably a 10%  under count done individually with 
scope.  Water lily pads breaking up  impeded viewing.  High but not a record for 
this area at this time of  year!  [09/02/1999 : 227 wood duck].  Many counts 
above  100.

Double-crested Cormorant  1
