Folks, I led a group of students from my vertebrate evolution class to Cone Marsh this morning to watch waterfowl. There were some early green-winged teals and a handful of ring-necked ducks, gadwall, and wigeons, but the assemblage was dominated by mallards, pintail, shovelers, and geese. We didn't see any Ross' or cackling geese, but we weren't using a spotting scope. The three trumpeter swans were still present.
