Obviously eiders, and Harlaquin wouldn't be likely. But we had great looks at just about ever other duck. I think between Deal Island, Crisfield, and Rumbly Point you could cover most the waterfowl. Also if you were to end your day on Deal or at Rumbly Point, Short-eared Owls are often easily seen over the marshes around dusk. If you have any questions feel free to call me.
