After shoveling the driveway and not having school today, I walked out to the sewer ponds here in Port Williams, Kings County. The redhead drake and lesser scaup drake were both on the north pond with 55 mallards. There were no goldeneyes or female aythya today. Richard Stern and Andy Dean have both shown me convincing photos of a female ringneck duck that they each have seen on the pond. I don't think I have seen that individual, but do believe that a scaup female is also visiting. Today with both male aythya evident and neither female, might lead one to believe that both females could be in the area and visit intermittently. Could there be a pair of scaup and a mixed pair of scaup/ringneck? The redhead has disappeared for a day or two at a time, Sunday there were no ducks of any kind in the ponds when I visited. It is interesting, and a bit of a detective challenge. George Forsyth
