A check of the impoundments this a.m. turned up Ring-necked Duck (new for the year), Canvasback, Bufflehead, Gadwall, Ruddy, Mallard, Common Merg  and Black Duck. Wished we'd brought a spotting scope for the distant waterfowl.

Note: Ron Shields reports that bout 50 Ring-necks are at the Kearny Marsh as well.
