Ring-necked Duck in Central Park - 19th Nov

Below freezing temperatures all day in Central Park, with a stiff southerly breeze thrown in. Most of the waterfowl on the reservoir were in the shelter of the bank on the southern and western side. The usual crop of Shoveler, Ruddy Duck, Mallard, Gadwall, Bufflehead and Hooded Merganser had been joined by two male Ring-necked Duck, apparently quite a rarity at this site.
