Ruddy Duck at Green Pond ~ June 8, 2021

Since I had to drop off some papers in Bethlehem Township, I decided to make a run over to Green Pond to see if the surrounding thunderstorms might have 'grounded' some shorebirds. When I checked the retention pond that's closest to Farmersville Road, I was surprised to find a male Ruddy Duck on it. In past years, Ruddy Ducks have been seen in June on the pond itself, but this bird was at the retention pond instead. I grabbed a couple long-distant photos to document it.
