For anyone interested a Drake Common Teal (Eurasian) or if you prefer, Green-winged Teal (Eurasian) was in the company of 14 American Green-winged Teals at Brookville Park.
Other notables in the area included 1 Black-crowned Night Heron and 2 Greater Yellowlegs.

This is a chance to show unity in saving a gem that is a critical freshwater ecosystem. Plus, on a lighter note. Don't forget the West Pond, hosted MEGAs like the Broad-billed Sandpiper. By restoring the West Pond, you may just provide the habitat for the next MEGA...perhaps a Terek Sandpiper, think how that will look on your state list :) Don't start none, won't be none" ~ Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones (\__/) (= '.'=) (") _ (") Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
