During my lunchtime walk around Schoolhouse Pond, I saw 3 Northern 
Shovelers (2 males & 1 female).  These were my first of the season at the 
pond.  Also present was the immature Black-crowned Night Heron, and an 
actively feeding Eastern Phoebe.  Only one Great Egret was present at 
lunch time, but there was over a dozen early this morning.
