Lots of Waterbirds at Croton


January 30 Email:

I see you have an amazing amount  of cool ducks down in the river channel.   I was out on the Muskegon River right by Croton today and saw a White-winged Scoter (photo below) which I have never seen so far upriver.   There was an impressive number of Bald Eagles. as well as a lot of mergansers, goldeneyes, and Mute Swans about.  The extreme cold appears to be pushing a lot of birds to the open water of the river.   A good place to observe these is right below the spillway of the dam in Croton.
