Winter ducks in Queens - 13th Jan

With a late start at work today I decided to try for some of the commoner winter ducks in the New York area. I started at Sands Point Preserve where there were a dozen or so Common Goldeneye. Unfortunately I couldn't find the Barrow's Goldeneye that had been reported from here, and it was absolutely freezing, so I moved on to the World's Fair Marina in Queens, where a mixed flock of Canvasback and Lesser Scaup were with a few American Black Duck, Mallard, Gadwall and Ruddy Duck

Canvasback.
Lesser Scaup.
