Sunday afternoon at Constitution Gardens:

Sunday afternoon I stopped at the pond at Constitution gardens. I saw

Ring-billed gulls
Mallards,
A feral-looking duck - it was mallard shaped but with a  solid
green-black body and white spectacles
Canada geese
Ring neck Ducks
American Widgeon
Male Red head- 

The sun was at the perfect angle so I could see the chestnut ring on the
ring neck ducks. Also, when the sun hit it just right, I could see why
they are called red heads.
