Thursday by the butte de morts bridge there had to be at least 500 diver ducks on the water. Tons of canvasbacks, buffleheads, goldeneyes, bluebills, you name it, it was probably out there. Some camerons (sp?) there also. It was a sight to see.

Seen a TON of Blue wings on the way to work today, I can honestly say that I have never so many at once! On flock must have been 200 birds strong, to bad the drakes can't be as plumbed out then as they are now!
