I don't know if these are the first birds to breed at Pier One since the park was opened last year, but they're the first babies I've seen. This is one of two broods I saw today. Possibly one of the two are hybrid offspring of the hen Mallard and drake AMBD I saw together a few weeks ago, since there is one black duck still hanging around.
Nothing else of note--lots of the park was blocked off in preparation for an event they're staging there.
