NO, not Lucille Ball! But at 2:30pm today I stopped by Torches parking lot on the Hudson in Newburgh and 50 yards out I had a small flotilla of 11 Redhead ducks, ALL of them drakes! That beats my old all-time high count of 6 for the county seen in Nov. 1979 by a mile. Several calls went out and I hastened off to a doctors appointment. When I returned almost 2 hours later I did find John Haas and Jeff Goulding but the Redheads were no where to be seen. The Hudson is NOT usually one of the favored places for these ducks but I suspect that all inland lakes and ponds are now frozen and they had to go someplace. On second thought they may have headed to FL.!
Good Birding,
Ken McDermott
