[nysbirds-l] Ruddy Shelduck at Avon DEC pond

Assuming the bird I saw this morning is the same one that I saw in flight on Wednesday, the possible Black-bellied Whistling Duck I reported, is actually a Ruddy Shelduck. I got good looks and decent photos of it swimming on pond early this morning. Checklist below. Twin Cedars Environmental
