So Mike,

Are you going to tell us which 22 species of duck are regularly occurring
in winter in washington, or do we have to guess? :)

I tried counting on my fingers, and got up to closer to 25, (I included
Black Duck and Redhead, which you may not have - ?).

Actually, a blow-by-blow (quack-by_quack?) account of your big duck day
might make fun reading, if you can reconstruct it.

OBBird: I saw a male kestrel in downtown Everett saturday by the
waterfront. That makes three falcons for my (new) hometown list, two to
go! ;)
