    Hi all,
    
    This morning, among the more usual were the following ducks at Shadow 
    Cliffs Regional Recreation Area in Pleasanton:
    
    Northern Pintail x Mallard hybrid (?) (one male)
    Canvasback (one male)
    Ring-necked Duck (several males + one female)
    Hooded Merganser (a male + female pair)
    
    A snap shot of the hybrid duck (in poor lighting) is here if anyone is 
    interested:

    They were all in the creek in the back of park, not in the main lake.
    
    Good birding,
    Akira
