My wish last week that the weekend would bring some nastier weather and along with it a little more diversity in waterfowl was only partially granted. The weather was definitely nasty - had to clean the moisture off my
binocular more than once. (Yes, even birders need a
waterproof binocular at times like this.) Unfortunately, no new
duck species to add to my November bird list. I suspect that it's going to take more of a hard freeze up north to bring more ducks to my area ponds and to my
binocular. We will be waiting.
