Tufted Duck
The heavens were always threatening to open up this morning but the rain overnight brought in a 1st winter female Tufted Duck onto the Causeway pond. Note the dark iris indicating a juvenile bird, muddy brown at the base of the bill and lighter brown flanks to the mantle feathering. There was a small amount of white around the tail feathers. A Water Rail was heard along the banks of the Causeway pond.
Barn Swallow
The wires adjacent to the Causeway pond were loaded with Barn Swallow 69 was the highest count between feeding forays.
