[CT Birds] inland ducks

[Carrier Graphics]

I checked out Bristol's res #7, and it was mostly free of ice!

Seen were: 170 Common Merganser, 8 Hooded Merg, 120 Ring-n-duck, 2 Bufflehead, 2 Wigeon, and 1 Pied-b-grebe.

Of note: saw a pair of Ravens courting in the air - their is a cliff near the res north side, nesting? Also; while focusing in on the Ravens, saw a migrating BROADWING HAWK. In two weeks or so, they should be coming back in peak numbers.
