There appear to be 4 ruddy ducks at Stewart Park, near East Shore Park. I am at Stewart Park without a scope, just binoculars and have been trying to turn them into hooded mergansers, but the stiff tails and white face patches (at this distance) keep saying ruddy ducks. So, if you have a chance, check it out. Seems kind of early to me.
