Goldeneye in Waldwick

In case you missed her post on the Fyke email list, Barbara Dilger writes:

Today I stopped by White's Pond in Waldwick to see if there were any interesting ducks on the water. One fellow was mixed in and blending well with the ring-necked ducks.

It took me a few moments to realize this one looked a little different. He was on the other side of the pond, so I drove over there to see if I could get some closer shots.

By the time I got over there, of course, he was back closer to the other side.

I did this a few times, but was outsmarted each time. I did get some shots for ID, and this is the first time I have seen this one in Waldwick.

There were also Common and Hooded Mergs.

(Thanks, Mrs. D!)
