Prospect ducks

Ducks are in and its a great time now to relish these birds, winter icons that are enjoyable to watch.

Prospect park waterways invite the observer to seek out the good birds mingling among the common ducks. And so I was able to find two drake Ring necked ducks by three sister islands with a nearby hen bufflehead hiding within a ruddy duck flock. Gadwalls- three total were found in the lake middle,assuming they're not the same at lull water cove.

Within three sisters I observed 5 wood ducks. It was this species that highlighted the day. Because at Lull water cove there was a total of 32! The day total became 37 woodies,a high enough number to get flagged on my ebird report. Such a spectacular sighting at the cove.

Yep ill be looking forward to the ducks of winter. 🐢
