On a whim I checked out the local tide table at 10a.m.this morning and = discovered time and tides were indeed favorable, and seeing as how = they 'wait for no man' I dashed over to become familiar with the various = locations. Port Williams sewerage lagoon was teeming with mallard ...about sixty of = them... but no other ducks, however I was treated to a beautiful = red-tailed hawk cruising quite close. Van Nostrand's Pond, [ easy to find thanks to the several local = 'naturens' friends who offered direction ] but this was not a good = morning and I came up with zero....however as I turned along Church Rd = heading for Canard St I encountered a merlin on the roadside wires and a = second red-tailed hawk cruising. Canard pond. Among the numerous gulls, black ducks, and mallard, there = were six male Northen pintail also at least four females. One shoveler = and one American widgeon [ baldpate ]=20 Saxon St Pond. Being ' from away' I don't know if green-winged teal are = locally newsworthy or not, there were at least twenty of them among the = hordes of mallard there, also two more male Northern Pintail, The entire = congregation being watched over by a mature bald eagle.
