Hi Bert/All,
The Tufted Duck was observed at the Essex Ferry Dock location late on Saturday (posts to Northern New York Birds can be viewed on the ABA website at: http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY07 ). The temperature is warming today and tomorrow, but the ice is so thick, that it probably won't open up areas outside the ferry channel yet. On Wednesday, a major winter storm is forecast for northern NY and Vermont - with the potential of over a foot of snow! It will be very cold again on Thursday, so I suspect that the waterfowl will still be found in the ferry channel - and hopefully, the Tufted Duck among them! Best of luck to you!

Hi all, Has anyone been to the Essex-Charlotte ferry across Lake Champlain lately? We will be heading up on Wednesday and would like to look for the ducks, especially the Tufted Duck and Barrow's Goldeneye. Thanks!
