February 25 - 2:30 - 4 p.m. Englewood Main Metropark: Since we finally have substantial water in the main pond, we're enjoying a greater variety of ducks and numbers of each variety of ducks than for the last 15 years. Numbers are at best approximate: Canada geese and mallards - simply too many and too difficult to count American wigeons - 14 Ring-necked ducks - 200+ Canvasbacks - 12 Redheads - 30 Gadwalls - 4 Northern pintails - 50 Black ducks - 2 Lesser scaup - 6 Wood ducks - 10 Green-winged teal - 30 Blue-winged teal - 2 Creagles - 2 Red-shouldered hawk - 1 And Most Of The Usual Stuff And now for the bad news--It seems that there is a breech in each of the three new retaining walls and water is seeping out. Some greater, some lesser. This summer could be a repeat of last year's "drought".
