Yes, we are into that fantastic stretch of the birding year: WEIRD DUCK TIME!

All credit to the wonderfully talented Rosemary Mosco for coining that phrase: rosemarymosco.com/comic…

But yes, it's always a joy in the winter to bundle up and head out to a local pond or the ocean and spend some time admiring the scoters, mergansers, canvasbacks, redheads, and other ducks spending some time in or around NYC. And yes, I will alway start giggling uncontrollably when I hear a gadwall say "hey."
