There are usually only Mallards in the pond but I noticed that one of the ducks had a vertical bar on its side. My first impression was that it was either a strange looking Mallard or a male Green-winged Teal sitting on a boulder. I pulled up to take a closer look. To my surprise it was a male WOOD DUCK fraternizing with the Mallards. When one of the females jumped into the water, he followed and when she climbed back onto a boulder so did he. Then they both wagged their tails. I didn't know what all of that meant but it was rather cute. What is a Wood Duck doing in Cupertino? Good birding, Peggy Don _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
