Hi Peter,

There were 6 participants in our March 17 field trip to Ridgewood Reservoir and Jamaica Bay. We started out at Ridgewood Reservoir where we saw ~20 Ring-necked Duck and ~10 Readhead. It was otherwise very quit so we crosse over to upper Highland Park which was quite active around the water hole. We then went to Jamaica Bay. After lunch we visited Spring Creek Park and finished up at Fresh Creek Park where we had nice views of Red-throated Loon.
