presto84's Journal

I've been pleasantly surprised to observe and photograph 11 new species of waterfowl this year; just since July. In addition to the ubiquitous Canada Geese, Mallards and Mute Swans there were Common Goldeneyes, Tufted Ducks, Redheads, Northern and White-cheeked (leucistic morph) Pintails, Buffleheads, Ring-necked Ducks, Red-crested Pochards, Blue-winged Teals, Ruddy Ducks and Graylag Geese. Not new, but always nice to see were the Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks.
