Cranes, Goldeneye, Santee NWR, SC



Sunday PM, 8 December, 2002: Santee NWR Bluff Unit.

1 female plumaged Common Goldeneye was the highlight in a flock of several
hundred Green-winged Teal, one Blue-winged Teal, a pair of Canvasbacks, a pair
of N. Pintails, small groups of Gadwall, Hooded Mergansers, Ring-necked Ducks
and Am. Wigeon, and one male Ruddy Duck.  No geese besides Canadas in
evidence, no swans.

2 Sandhill Cranes and an immature Little Blue Heron were readily visible (from
the observation tower or road) in the fields closed to public access during
winter.
