\This morning there were lovely Hooded Mergansers with a pair of Wood Ducks in the run out from Arcola Creek....last week there were Common Goldeneyes, Canvasbacks, Scaup sp,Common Mergansers and several Greater Blackbacked Gulls among the Ring Bills. They didn't stay long but were a pleasure to see in their breeding plumage.
