Large variety of ducks along the drive; BW Teal, GW Teal, Mallard, Black Duck, Shoveler, Gadwall, Pintail, Ring-necked, Redhead, Coots & PB Grebes & C. Merganser. Both Ibises were still at Benning Marsh (but had moved back into the marshy brush, west of the open water). 6 Snow Bunting were along the road near the photo blind area.
Knox-Marsellus had the “usual”, Am White Pelicans are still there, couple Sandhill Cranes, about 100 Snow Geese (no Ross’s positively ID’d). Lots of Canada Geese, assorted ducks, Yellowlegs (Greater?), 26 Swans (3 were Trumpeters with green wing tags - unable to tell about the rest). Couple Great Egrets still around, Pileated Woodpecker (Towpath Rd), a Rusty Blackbird, & assorted sparrows (WC, WT, Song, Tree, & Field). South Spring Pool was pretty barren (winds & rain had picked up) but did have a Wood Duck, Belted Kingfisher, & Winter Wren.
