Mallard (34) "Likely more - flew before all were counted."
Northern Shoveler (2) "Possibly more - many ducks quick to fly."
Northern Pintail (1) "Male. Good look. May have been others bud didn't get
time to find any (especially separating females from Mallard females)"
Green-winged Teal (5) "First to take flight - not unusual but really excited
all the other ducks."
Redhead (8) "Some may have flown with Mallards, etc. These remained on
pond."
Ring-necked Duck (2)
Greater Scaup (1) "Continuing bird. Flew off with Mallards, Shovelers,
Pintail, and Teal. No photo today but obviously same bird as photos this
week and last. Curious to see if it returns. Noted large nail on large bill
and high, bright sides. Failed to get good head profile today."
Lesser Scaup (2) "With Greater - likely same birds as photographed 2/10."
Ruddy Duck (2) "Spotted these before mass departure. Based on size, probably
only two on pond."
