DUCKS GALORE

    Now that the tidal impoundments at DeKorte Park have thawed a bit, we are getting a nice variety of ducks again.
   Above, a Eurasian ( or common) Green-winged Teal hangs out with his more-often seen cousin.
   A check of the impoundments on Monday afternoon found Black Ducks, Canvasbacks (with that female Ringneck thrown in), Hooded Mergansers (right), Red-breasted Megs, a Northern shoveler and the usual Mallards.

    Birder Linda Gangi reports that quite a few Pintails and  Buffleheads were around on Monday morning as well. She also reports seeing two male Eurasian/common Green-winged Teal.
