Unfortunately, the duck = numbers were virtually nil on the pond. There were Mallards swimming = around the main body of the pond. Then I scanned the edges and found Wood = Ducks (3 male and 1 female). Very nice. The males were spectacular in = fresh plumage. Always amazed at the plumage of the males.
