After Sunday services and breakfast, we always take a ride through Greenwood to see the "country" . It's a good way to view from the car as my mom doesn't walk too well. But this late morning i noticed how ducky it was.
Passing first by crescent water, it was all hooded.. 6 Hooded Mergansers got the pond for themselves, 3 drakes and 3 hens for the right romantic moment.
Later Sylvan water did better with diversity.Joining more hooded now 12 so far i counted was a lone Red breasted merganser drake. I read later a Common merganser put in and that's pretty rare for 3 merg species especially for greenwood! Add wood ducks, a bufflehead, a ruddy and the usual mallard and black, we have a great collection!
You have to love this time of year as migration heats up..🦆
