I refound the white-headed RUDDY DUCK on the east side of A1, probably not far from where it spent all day. There were 11 REDHEADS (5 males, 6 females) along the western edge of the pond. Looking over to pond A2W to the east I was amazed at the number of ducks. Scoping from the southeast corner of A1 immediately revealed many hundreds (thousands?) of AMERICAN WIGEON and SCAUP. I quickly picked out 3 adult male EURASIAN WIGEON, 27 more REDHEAD, and a surprising female-plumaged COMMON MERGANSER (perhaps the same bird seen by Gordon Barrett on Shoreline Lake on Nov 7?). This pond would be a very good place to search for a Tufted Duck, even though many of the scaup are out near the back edge. A quick look from the boathouse on the way out turned up the adult male BARROW'S x COMMON GOLDENEYE and 14 SURF SCOTERS, but no Ross's Geese.
