2 lifers! Ring-necked Duck and Ross's Goose (one at Morris Island, one in a field on the drive back)
Most of the water at Morris Island CA was still frozen and snow-covered, but there were some parts that were open. That's where I saw a ring-necked duck, hanging out with some hooded and common mergansers and Canada geese. Very cool! Then, on the drive back, I saw some people pulled over at the side of the road, next to a flooded farm field full of Canada geese. As a slowly drove past, I saw they had some serious bird-watching equipment set up, so of course I had to stop and see what the excitement was about, as surely it wasn't just the Canada geese. They pointed out the Ross's goose, the lone white bird among the Canada geese. Cool!
