Canvasback





A recent stop at the West Lake Pond in southern Wake County revealed a
surprising number of Canvasback.  While the numbers of other ducks have
decreased rather precipitously lately, the Canvasback seem to be on the
increase.  72 were seen on this small farm pond, about evenly divided between
drakes and hens.

The Tundra Swans at Greenview Pond are still hanging around.  Wonder if this is
the same pair that were present as immatures last season?  Interestingly the
Mute Swans that used to hang around Greenview have not been spotted for quite a
while by this observer.  Maybe they headed back to Lochmere?
