Hi Everyone, 
After leaving work early Mom and I went to Patterson park hoping to find Eurasian Wigeon with no luck . While standing under a tree to get out of rain  we bumped into Keith Costley who came to search also . He did 2 walks around the lake with no luck . I did a  walk around after he left without any luck . The Mallard seem to have the run of the place as they were all around the lake . I was able to get some good  photos and my first photos of Woodducks . And a very closeup of the Mallard.
