Checked out the small pond on the south side of the road just before the gate to Is 22 Park. Im glad I did!
Here's what I saw (appx from biggest to smallest)
Canada goose (60+)
Greater white-fronted goose (3)
Cackling goose (~7)
Canvasback (2 drakes and 1 hen)
Redhead (1 drake)
Mallard (15)
No. pintail (2 hens)
Am. wigeon (12)
Ring-necked duck (8)
Lesser scaup (2 hens)
Hooded merganser (9)
Pied-billed grebe (1)
Bufflehead (1 hen)
What a nice little assortment of waterfowl!!
Snapped a shot through the scope and Tylenol bottle of the redhead. Again, not the best conditions for playing with this new device. A combination of low light, 250 yd distance and a stiff wind that made the scope shake just a little less than the clown holding the camera who decided he didnt need to wear a jacket today made things rough.
