   If you want Ruddy Ducks come to the reservoir in Central Park. Still at least 50 on the water. Also a Greater White-fronted Goose mixed in with about 150 Canada Geese on the Lake. Throw in a handful if Northern Shovelers and a few American Coots and you get a pretty good show.

      Wonder if this is a matter of size? Prospect Lakes usually has a good accompaniment of Ruddy Ds, Northern Shovelers, etc. Green-Wood’s waters usually only attract a few ducks, single specimens, sometimes pairs. Usually aren’t even Mallards about.
