The fall 2018 waterfowl migration was exceptional with plenty of ducks observed from mid-September until freeze-up on November 11. The peak number of ducks and species occurred during the first week of November, with November 3 being particularly good. On this date I observed over 400 ducks and 8 species: 214 Lesser Scaup, 72 Common Goldeneye, 65 Mallard, 17 Hooded Merganser, 17 Ring-necked Duck, 16 Bufflehead, 2 Wood Duck and 2 American Wigeon.
