I birded the River S Unit of Ridgefield NWR this afternoon with my son
Andrew. Although we did not see any arrivals for the season, we did see the
following:

SNOW GOOSE -- flock of 7, presumably the same group that has been around for
a while now
CINNAMON TEAL -- at least 15 birds
CANVASBACK -- 1 very cooperative (injured?) bird in the canal across the
road from Long Lake
RED-SHOULDERED HAWK -- 1
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK -- 2
GREAT HORNED OWL -- 1

TUNDRA SWAN numbers were substantially higher than several days ago, but the
bulk of the winter residents apparently have not yet arrived.
