SBBers,
Yesterday ,11/12/06, around 4:30 PM at the Bubb Rd percolation pond was a female BUFFLEHEAD. When I reached the other side of the pond I heard a familiar whistle. I saw two pairs of WOOD DUCKs. New arrivals flew in. They were 3 male Wood Ducks. I looked back at the pairs and spotted another male. Wow! There were a total of eight Wood Ducks.
This morning I checked to see if any of the Wood Ducks lingered. A pair did. Several CANADA GEESE flew in. In among the 33 geese was an ALEUTIAN CACKLING GOOSE. It had a white triangular patch in front at the base of its neck. The chin strap had a pinkish cast. Under the chin the chin strap was divided by a dark line. Its crown was flat and its darker brown body stood out.
The female Bufflehead was also present.
