REDHEAD

The wintering ducks continue to concentrate in limited areas of open water.  One of the more productive locations for these ducks is the northwest section of Great Pond and adjacent Perch Pond.  Recently, Redhead ducks have been seen among the larger flocks.  These ravishing redheads are medium-sized diving ducks.  They are real beauties with a brick red head, yellow eyes, and with smoky gray upperparts and sides.  The easiest way to identify the redhead is by its long blue bill with whitish band and black tip.
