Birded the east side of the Adirondaks this last weekend primarily around Lake Champlain which is mostly unfrozen. Large numbers of Common Goldeneye, Mallards and Canada Geese. Also plenty of Common Mergansers and Lesser Scaup. Small numbers of Bufflehead, Ruddy, and Horned Grebe. The usual gulls - Ring-billed, Herring, and Greater Black-backed in order of predominance. Nicest find was two lone Snow Geese near the water treatment plant at Westport.
