Before leaving for work this morning (Dec. 14), I noticed an American Black Duck mingling with the Mallards in residence at the fish pond at my home in Hampton, Carter Co.,TN. The ducks were all on the bank around the pond, and the Black Duck remained in wary confusion when the Mallards ran toward me for their morning helping of corn. I am hopeful he will linger for a few days.

The Black Duck joins a growing list of waterfowl that has stopped at the pond, including Canada Geese, Mallard, Blue-winged Teal, Hooded Merganser and Wood Duck.

At ponds located no more than a quarter-mile down the road on Simerly Creek Road I have also seen Bufflehead and Pied-billed Grebe.
