Allan Sanford photographed this Wood Duck in DeKorte Park’s Shorebird and wondered if the plumage indicated it might be some sort of Wood Duck x Mallard hybrid.
We are thinking it’s “just” a Wood Duck — and an excellent sighting for the Shorebird Pool.
What do you think? (Thanks, Allan!)

As these two recent photos by Regina Geoghan attest, We are in peak Daylily season at DeKorte Park, and are other gardens are equally beautiful. Please stop by and see for yourself!
