- Comments: "Female seen in flight. Large duck with rusty red head sharply demarcated from light underparts and square white patches in the wing. Did not have my camera out. It circled the lake a few times and headed south towards the Parade Grounds."
"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it."
