Duck Lake in December 2013

There have been few ducks here this season.  Until today, I saw no more than 2 or 3 hundred ducks at one time.  Today, I saw at last 500 and perhaps 600 ducks on the lake.  There were several Northern Shovelers, both male and female, Buffleheads, Northern Pintails, American Wigeons, a few Eurasian Wigeons, and Mallards.  Perhaps I will see more in the coming weeks.
