Happy People, Warm Rainy Day

To Rialto Beach on the first of March. Goldeneyes on the Lake. Eagles at the beach. Goldeneyes and buffleheads on the river (no seal). Weather everywhere, and happy people out in it.

P.S., Saturday duck report from Ediz Hook. Just the usual: goldeneye, wigeon, lots of buffleheads. Gulls. Cormorants. (Cormorants. Belong to the order Pelecaniformes, along with frigatebirds and boobies other unfamiliar critters. Sibley says, "All are fish-eating waterbirds with four toes joined by webbing, but beyond that there are few similarities.") Only one big ship in harbor, a Polar tanker. Temporarily bored with ships.
