[nysbirds-l] Ring-necked Ducks everywhere

Today while driving along the New Croton Reservoir I saw a huge flock of Ring-necked Ducks.  The location was in the cove south of the intersection of Croton Ave. and Baptist Church Rd.   There must have been well over 5 or 600, probably many more.  I've never seen such a huge flock.  Very cool.
