Sunday I passed by that wetland on Research Boulevard. Not many birds, but an
odd variety:
1 Cattle Egret1 Green Heron2 Black Necked Stilts1 male Ruddy Duck.
I thought I knew what a Ruddy Duck looked like till I saw the brilliant
turquoise on this male. Seeing him also made the female Ruddy Duck I saw a few
minutes earlier (pond in front of Walmart on 4th and Loop) seem less unusual.
I hope they find each other!
