[EBB Sightings] wood ducks

Here's a few suggestions:

1.  Upper San Leandro Reservoir, Moraga - EBRP permit required.  These ducks
are quite shy, but sometimes easily seen.  Check out the stream at the
bridge.  If you are the first one there, they may be easy to see.
2.  Russian River near Duncan's Mill, Casini Family Campground.  Go over the
bridge, following the sign to the campground an check in at the office.
These ducks are quite tame, will approach you for a handout, just like
mallards.  I couldn't believe it when I visited there earlier this year.
3.  Lodi Lake nature trail, Lodi Lake.  These wood ducks are pretty easy to
find and don't flush as easily as those at Upper San Leandro Reservoir.  Saw
them on a field trip at the Lodi Crane Festival in November last year.

Happy Birding, Laura Gee
