At Dartmouth Cove I saw quite a few Eurasian Wigeons.

 In Cole Harbour near Rainbow haven Beach I saw a small flock of Common 
Eiders and another small flock of Common Mergansers.

I went to see the Common Gallinule and it was crowded up to the culvert 
with many Mallards. They seemed to be getting along. There was also a 
house cat at the edge of the reeds but the ducks weren't minding it 
either. The pond was freezing over.

Sunday at Port Philip Cumb Co
In the open water under the Port Philip bridge there was a mixed flock 
of Common Mergansers and Common Goldeneyes. The birds were very skittish 
and kept flying off whenever I moved so I can't say for sure that there 
aren't Barrow's Goldeneye in the mix.
Even the gulls were skittish but I think there were only Ring Bills,and 
Herring Gulls of various ages.
I took pictures to practice identification but the cold wind made me 
shaky and the photos are blurry.
