This morning I checked on the George Road pond that is just west of Dryden and found it partially open and with waterfowl. Most surprising was a trio of NORTHERN SHOVELERS (2 males, 1 female). I also saw 5 RING-NECKED DUCKS, 14 NORTHERN PINTAILS, a pair of HOODED MERGANSERS, and 5 Killdeer. Birds kept appearing out of the vegetation and disappearing again. I have no doubt that if I had stayed longer I would have found something else interesting.
