Prospect Park

Finally got back to the park today. A good mix of birds at the feeders. The most interesting thing I saw was the Wood Duck, out in the open on the Boathouse pool swimming around with about 40 Mallards.  I guess all the little coves where they like to hang out are frozen so there was really no place else for him to go.  The Bufflehead was on the lake in among the shovelers.
