Because of the weather and icy trails, we had a subdued turn-out for Ducks at Dusk last night. Ducks were subdued as well. Highlights included two American Wigeon, a Ruddy and a female Wood Duck.
Also had coots, an RC Kinglet, Mallards and Black Ducks -- and some nice foliage.
With all the homes without power in the region, we felt fortunate to be able to get out at all... A very tough weekend for many of us.
An easy one -- and a great Halloween Mask...

Ducks at Dusk is tonight. Meet at the Warden's Watch (at the Celery Farm) at 5:30 p.m. (still DST). Leader: Mike Limatola.
The trail is open, but may be mucky. Bald Eagle was seen around noon today. Also had Am. Coots, Ruddy Duck, Sharpie, Yellow-rump, RC Kinglet and a bazillion Am. Robins.
So strange to see fall foliage and snow together.
I understand that no major trees are down in the Celery Farm -- thank goodness. Trails look pretty sloppy at the moment....
Kurt Muenz sent this photo of Stiles Thomas at the Stateline Hawk watch in Alpine. Had to share it. (Thanks, Kurt!)
Glad to see things are looking up for him; just wish he'd use his binoculars instead of showing off.)
