Yesterday afternoon was extremely busy at Jester Park. Besides the expected Mallards and Canada Geese, there were very large numbers of Greater White Fronted Geese and Northern Pintail at the middle/north end of the park. Also saw at least one each of male and female Red Breasted Mergansers. A handful of Ring-billed Gulls present. Further south near the amphitheater area had a huge flock of Snow Geese. Largest group I've seen since when I was young at DeSoto Bend NWR. Probably at least a few to several thousand. From the same spot I could see 6 eagles feeding from the ice.
