The same thing has happened here Richard. Waterfowl were everywhere but it
is like a barren desert now.
I have seen or observed that waterfowl will move out ahead of storms. You
will see either an obvious influx of waterfowl just prior to a storm or a
sudden departure
Usually not apparent until after or during a storm.

Subject: [NatureNS] Where have all the waterfowl gone?
Yesterday I got to Port George on the Bay of Fundy for about half an hour,
and saw a grand total of 1 M.Harlequin, a pair of R-B Mergansers and 1
Common Loon. On other occasions this winter I have seen a smattering of
Eiders, a few Scoters, and the odd Loon and Grebe. Even 5 years ago there
would have regularly been flocks of Eiders and Scoters, up to 20 Harlequins,
and much larger numbers of Loons, Grebes etc. Is this a general phenomenon,
or just on the Bay of Fundy, or is it just that I'm perpetually unlucky
these days? And if this is real, any ideas why?
Richard
