Went down to Bluffer's Park today despite the breeze. FOY waterfowl: Bufflehead (M & F), Common Goldeneye (M & F), Mallards (M & F), Red-breasted merganser (M & F), and some geese. I tried to get closer to water level between the boulders but that plan didn't work out well because I had my camera in one hand and a bulky backpack. My movements were not elegant, especially in the wind. I chose the isthmus to the boat launch bay so that passing ducks would be a little closer. Not much passed while I was uncomfortably ensconced. One female goldeneye sort of gave me the glance but that was all. Only small bird was an Am. tree sparrow. No snow bunting, no pipit and no flamingos. Sad, really.
