Mallard - lots present, and several broods of youngsters. Black Duck - perhaps 20 seen, which included at least a couple of = broods. Green-winged Teal - about 20+ seen, all males. Wood Duck - 2 seen (adult male, immature male). Ring-necked Duck - 2 separate males seen. BALD EAGLE: 2 adults seen soaring over the ponds (and harassed by a = red-winged blackbird), and also landing on one of the dykes between = ponds.
