Hi Everyone!
After lunch today, I checked out the ponds on the west-side of Los Capitancillos then visited Santa Clara Valley Water District. Focusing on the ducks, I was able to find *Gadwalls*, *Mallards*, *Ring-necked Ducks*, *Buffleheads*, and *Ruddy Ducks* at Los Capitancillos. Also a couple of *Green Herons*. At SCVWD, I had *Northern Shovelers*, *American Wigeons*, and the other duck species found at Los Cap. In addition, there were several *Common Mergansers*, 1 *Wilson's Snipe*, and a molting male *Northern Bishop*.
