Greetings all, Our little woodland pond that we can see from our kitchen has been a stage for a variety of wildlife sightings but the big draw lately has been waterfowl. Mallards and Wood Ducks are the main players and they’ve been putting on quite a show the last couple weeks. But over the years we’ve had little sprinklings of the “odd duck“: Northern Pintail, American Widgeon, Common Merganser, and Northern Shoveler. This morning we added another species to our list: Green-winged Teal (a drake)! What a nice surprise! It also nudges the number of species we’ve documented on our farm to 190.
Happy birding and Happy spring! Cathy Blumig Somerset, NJ
