Scanning the area I noted 3 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONs (2 adults, 1 juvemile) on the small island and a female COMMON MERGANSER in the pond. Soon she flew circling the pond before heading northward. Three Mallards flew. Oops, make that 2 Mallards (male, female) and a WOOD DUCK (male)! They were soon joined by 10 other Mallards. Perhaps this Wood Duck is the same one I saw last year at the Seven Springs ponds in Cupertino. Its behavior was similar. He was closely associating with the female that he flew in with and was quite protective of her. He seemed to be one happy duck wagging his tail frequently, a behavior that I didn't notice in the Mallards.
