They flushed & later I saw 1 pair below the old RR abutments, and 1 pair + a female in the spillway below the dam. 3 Bufflehead (F) Black ducks were mostly by the sewage disposal area. Beyond this the river was frozen over solid Several Pied-billed Grebes in this area also. Canvasback - male - same place Numerous C. Geese came in during the late afternoon after none being present when I first started about 2:30 A few Herring gulls with the Ring-billeds along the dam and in the spillway below.
