Hi Everyone,

My original posting from Sunday is apparently lost somewhere in
cyberspace.  If it eventually shows up, I apologize in advance for the
double posting.

The cold weather has frozen most standing water in Allegany Co. - Rocky
Gap is totally frozen.  However, a portion of the Potomac River at the
terminus of the C&O Canal at Cumberland remains open.  Concentrated
there today (Saturday 1/9) were:

7        Horned Grebe
1        Great Blue Heron (looking very cold)
250     Canada Goose
1        Black Duck
~50    Mallard
2        WHITE-WINGED SCOTER
6        Common Goldeneye (2m / 4f )
4        Hooded Merganser ( 2m / 2f )
1        Red-breasted Merganser ( f )
3        Am. Coot
1        Killdeer
2        Common Snipe
1        Ring-billed Gull (ad )

Happy trails ....
