<html> <body> Checked a few of the local ponds this afternoon:<br><br> <u>Saxon St. Pond</u> - no ducks. Likely water level too high for dabblers.<br><br> <u>Canard Pond</u> <x-tab> </x-tab>- ~ 50 G/W Teal (numbers tailing off)<br> <x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>- 1 male Blue-winged Teal (perhaps my second one this year which illustrates their scarcity this summer)<br> <x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>- ~35 Mallards<br> <x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>- ~ 10 Black Ducks<br> <x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>- no Pintails (perhaps at New Minas Sewage Ponds, not accessible on weekends).<br><br> <u>Port Williams Ponds</u> - somewhat similar to Richard S.' experience, 3 nervous Mallards and another without a care in the world. At any rate no Barrows.<br><br> Otherwise an adult Lesser B/B Gull at Steam Mill on the roof of a chicken barn. Only found one other off Saxon St. & the Canard Poultry Plant. Lots of recently plowed fields but apparently not enough gulls to occupy them all.<br><br> At the Poultry Plant, a flock contained ~60 Cowbirds, a few Song Sparrows & only a few Starlings. Cowbirds are usually scarce in the Valley at this time of year.<br> Angus<br> </body> </html>
