Ring-Neck Ducks are now back at Riverbend Park, I saw at least 150 there this
afternoon right before dark.

That's the good news. The bad news is that the acreage on the left of Jeffery
Rd. (where you make the 90 degree right turn toward the nature center) is
apparently going be developed.  I understand two home are planned on the
approx. 5-6 acres tract which abuts the park's fire road and is directly
across the road from the northwest section of the meadow.  It could impact
unfavorably on migratory bird levels in the meadow.

A sign announces Riverbend Overlook Grande Estates by Oak Street Development.

I plan to look into this further and will keep you posted.
