Several Ponds in the Afternoon ~ October 22, 2025

I stopped at the Trio Farms Boulevard retention ponds on the way to my daughter's house and found a Pied-billed Grebe and a Great Blue Heron.

After leaving my daughter's, I stopped at the Silver Crest Road pond and saw 2 Ruddy Ducks among around 500 Canada Geese.

The nearby Regency Boulevard retention ponds held another Pied-billed Grebe and 2 Tree Swallows among the Canada Geese and Mallards.

Over at Green Pond, the Lesser Yellowlegs continued in the Farmersville Road along with 8 Killdeer.

Along the edge of the back middle pond, I spotted three birds that turned out to be a Gadwall, an American Black Duck, and an American Coot.

Over at the Newburg Road retention pond, there were 8 Killdeer among around 500 Canada Geese.
