Many highlights today. We found 50 plus cedar waxwings in Vergennes on a crabapple and drove RIGHT UP TO THEM. Next were 25 plus turkeys at the viewingcenter on route(rte) 17. The ice is mostly out at Dead creek, but we found only two nuthatches and a chickadee. There were two groups of turkeys,one of 25 plus before the viewing center, and one in filed north of 17 as we left brilyea's with too many to count .We observed 4 turkey vultures on the way to the new ferry at Chimney point ,plus two red tail hawks . On the ice edge south of the ferry ,we counted nine mature eagles, digesting. They did not move for the 40 minutes we were there. There was a raft of scaup and ring necked ducks, and then 150 Canada geese flew in. We did not see the canvasback. We searched north of the bridge and then came back for a closer look at the geese. We kept seeing red, but it turned out to be a large red sleeve on the neck of a Canada goose with many numbers on it. It looked VERY uncomfortable. Finally, we picked out the male canvasback amongst the scaup! There were 100's of gulls at the marina north of chimney point, but we were too far away to decipher. We then found two bufflehead at Oven bay. On the way to Panton,we found 3 bluebirds in a flock of 8 plus HOUSE finch, like partridges in a tiny pear tree! We almost made road meat out of female grouse and could not count the scads of red winged black birds, but could count the two rusty blackbirds right in Panton center ,who ,for lack of females, were singing to each other. Feeling so lucky, we went back to North Williston for a second try today for the white fronted goose. The owner of the house next to the viewing area told us he saw a goose with yellow legs last night at dusk.It was 6:00,but it was daylight savings time. NO GOOSE . But a great day!
