Blue Mash 3/2/14

Not too much going on at Blue Mash this weekend. The small ice-free patch on the smaller of the two ponds had Mallard and Black Duck. I am pretty sure the rest of the ponds on the landfill side of the fence had more waterfowl. 5 Ring-necked Ducks were headed that way at one point. Lots of Ring-necks on Zion pond, with one Bufflehead and 5 Gadwall, the latter a species had eluded me all year on Blue Mash. As the ice starts melting we should see more migrant waterfowl coming through.
