November 18, 2021: Wintering Waterfowl
Cold weather is beginning to settle in over Hershey’s Mill. The fall colors have been especially bright, with lots of yellow, gold, and red foliage. But the leaves are dropping, and it’s only a matter of time before snowflakes start to fly.
The wintering waterfowl have begun to arrive at our Lagoon, so be sure to bundle up and check out the following birds:
Ruddy Ducks
Bufflehead Ducks
Ring-necked Ducks
And I spotted one Coot the other day!
There’s also a group of about 7 or 8 Mallard ducks. Look closely
for the one that is much smaller in size. That’s not a female Mallard—it’s a female Green-winged Teal who has chosen to spend her time with the Mallards.
Happy Birding!
