Using the term in a droll way,the Upper pool had 5 species ducks . Not known for diversity ,anytime I can count that milestone its a eye opening ! ;-)
Beginning with the 3 GREEN WINGED TEAL, a hen HOODED MERGANSER joined the crowd. RUDDY DUCK and MALLARD were the common residents .Then careful scanning,I saw the pair of partially hidden WOOD DUCKs sitting on a willow snag.
The Lake with it complement of NORTHERN SHOVELERS and RUDDY also had PIED BILLED GREBE.
On the Peninsula meadow,one or two WINTER WRENS were present.Other that the birding was really quiet.
