Ridgewood Reservoir

hi, a quick note to report as of yesterday the redhead and ringneck ducks are continuing at Ridgewood Reservoir along with a pair of hooded mergansers. The Canada geese are down to 2, the rest have possibly joined the huge flocks I've seen heading Norhtwest over Brooklyn the past few days. There are also a good showing of golden crown kinglets and yellow shafted flickers.
