[nysbirds-l] Central Park - a late report
I couldn't get to a computer to report 5 Ring-necked Ducks (M) @ Reservoir 1/22/17 Sun. about 1:30pm. The weather and not being well kept me from returning. I've been waiting for a Ring-neck duck all season. 1/20/17 Fri., an odd duck appeared swimming with a flock of Ruddies. It's head was entirely white and the back and wings were splotched with dull red, the breast a solid dull reddish color.Another Birder, Carl, was observing this anomyly from another side of NW corner. I looked for the birds later but never saw it again. Carl and I thought it was a leucistic Ruddy Duck. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
