Yesterday evening on Runnemede, I saw 5 ducks all staying pretty close
together. One was white with a black patch on the side of his face and
some black along the back and maybe upper wings. 3 were rather plain
looking brown with a white patch on the side of their faces, one looked
like a lone (probably Lesser) female Scaup. I'm not 100% sure of the ID,
but I think the 4 were Long-tailed ducks. They were in the middle of the
big pond with best viewing from the gazebo, but still pretty far away -
too far to see the bill of the male in the dim lighting.
Maybe still there today?
