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.
