\"Ring-necked<\/a>
Ring-necked Ducks in flight at Wallkill River NWR, 3\/27\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tonight after work, I walked the Liberty Loop at Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge for the first time in ages. It proved to be quite birdy, and a good showing of waterfowl was certainly the highlight:<\/p>\n

Canada Goose (1500)
\nWood Duck (35)<\/div>\n
American Wigeon (4)
\nAmerican Black Duck (30)
\nMallard (60)<\/div>\n
Northern Pintail (75)<\/div>\n
Green-winged Teal (50)
\n<\/span>Ring-necked Duck (120)<\/div>\n
Hooded Merganser (6)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Other highlights included 14 Turkey Vultures that appeared as if they might have been moving through, and I also had an attractive looking Skunk that I was able to get a couple of mediocre shots of. It felt really good to be on foot, taking a hike, and out of the car for a change. It has been a long cold winter of car-birding.<\/div>\n

\"Thanks<\/a>
Thanks to the gentleman on the trail that gave me the heads-up about this skunk. Wallkill River NWR, 3\/27\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
