The wildlife drive today was mainly filled with Canada Geese. There were Cackling Geese also. Northern Shovelers were at Larues. The main pool had a number of Scaup with Redheads mixed in. I am sure there were other species of Aythya ducks there, but I didn't look through a scope. The shorebird spot and Benning Marsh was filled with Canada Geese. On Towpath Road, I saw a Fox Sparrow bathing in a puddle. At Knox Marcellus there were many Canada Geese, a number of Sandhill Cranes, and Green-winged Teal. The Snow Geese were at Puddlers where I saw at least 3 Ross's Geese. They were sleeping at times, so I don't think I saw them all. There were more Snow Geese there than Jay saw the day before. The invasive Ladybugs were in full force. It was a beautiful day to be out. Good Birding, Ann
