In addition to the Eurasian Wigeon, which continues as of about 20 minutes ago, there were three Northern Shovelers, two of which were very  nice adult drakes.  There is a huge group of Greater Scaup hanging out.  I would estimate around 3,000 birds.  There were a few Snow Buntings, but their visits are getting to be more intermittent.  Bill Wallace reported two White-winged Scoters flying by.
