There were plenty of birds, though, including my first Ospreys of the year. Hundreds of Canada Geese were flying North.<\/p>\n<p>I stopped at Beach Road nest, and was surprised to find 14 Horned Grebes, a record for me. This area has been opened up, and looks like it will have future possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Quiet Waters was better than usual, with a few more ducks, including several Wood Ducks. A good day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30197\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=30197\" rel=\"attachment
