This past week I have spent a lot of time out at the
Bashakill Wetlands watching for migratory ducks. I have also been out to the other reservoirs
in my area. It has been slow but I have
seen a fair share of different species.
Including ringneck ducks, common mergansers, hooded mergansers, common
goldeneye, mallards, black ducks, and tons of canadian geese. I did get a couple of good photographs of
male ringneck ducks, but I did not manage many other photographs this
week. The last couple days were not as
good as the previous couple due to the temperature dip and the open water
freezing back up.
Hopefully warmer
weather is coming and the ice will finally melt away. I believe that the next couple of weeks
should be great for migratory ducks especially if the ice continues to melt and
more water opens up. If you can, you
should try and get out and see these beautiful ducks. I have seen a few bald eagles each day I've
been out, but none close enough to photograph.
I’m hoping that this weekend will produce more migratory ducks in the
area and I may take a trip into the black dirt area of Orange County New York
to see if I see anything. Until Next
time.
