With wind, strong surf and choppy conditions there was little to be seen in the main harbour at Three Fathom Harbour today, except good numbers of completely ordinary gulls, 500 Canada Geese and a dozen C. Eiders.  But in the calm and shelter of a small area of Dottie's Pond that remained open, ducks had collected and were feeding busily:
Am. Black Duck         - 200
Red-breasted Merganser - 20
Bufflehead            - 15
C. Goldeneye        - 18
Barrow's Goldeneye        - 1 m.
Lesser Scaup        - 8

In the harbour at Rocky Run:    
Greater Scaup        - 24

At the feeders at my cottage, Black-capped Chickadees and Am. Goldfinch in their usual numbers.

Cheers,
Susann Myers
