Hi C-birders,
Dan's phrasing in this message (i.e. referring to me in the third person)
indicates that he meant this message to go to the listserv. He must have
hit the wrong command and sent it just to me instead. So here it is...

Here is my Duck input.
In the Duke Gardens there are the folowing captive ducks with at least one
wing clipped:
1 male Hoodeed Merg
1 Female Goldeneye
2 male Crested? Pochards
1 male Common? (not ruddy the last time I checked) Shelduck
2 WC Pintails
1 Northern Pintail
1 pair? Northern Shovelers
1 Chestnut (Australian) Teal
1 South American species of Teal
1 male Redhead (sure there are 2?)
There are often wild great blue herons, canada geese, mallards, and
sometimes a pied-billed grebe, but rarely much else. As Josh Rose said, I
once saw an extra male Hoodie there. If you see an exotic duck there,
beware it could be no more exotic than seeing it in a zoo.
