ginger holser and i found ourselves at the union bay nature area early this
morning, hoping for sunshine (and warmth) that never came... however, we
did find several dozen northern shovelers (shoveler pond, main pond, slough
near boathouse); hooded mergansers, green-winged teals, and gadwall (main
and slough); bufflehead, northern pintails, pied-billed grebes, and seven
or eight greater white-fronted geese (slough)... coots were plentiful
everywhere...

with the exception of one male shoveler and a few canada geese (at least one
of which was cackler-tiny), everything stayed well-away from us... probably
just as well; lighting was wretched, but at least the rain held off until
we actually left the area...
