[EBB Sightings] Ring-necked Duck and Mergansers

Hello,

Last Friday I saw both the Tufted Duck and a Ring-necked Duck at Lake 
Merritt. The latter is likely the other dark backed duck seen by Dominik 
Mosur.

On Sunday at Aquatic Park in Berkeley, I saw what for me were these unusual 
birds:

* One male Hooded Merganser (southeastern part of the middle pond)
* Several Gadwall in the southern pond
* One male Red-breasted Merganser just south of the island in the lake

Yesterday at Arrowhead Marsh (Bob Lewis's field trip), among more common 
birds, we saw:

* Cackling Goose
* Greater White-fronted Goose
* A flock of swimming Willets!
* Peregrine Falcon
* Soras
* Clapper Rails
