Media notes

Some of the noisy flock following park visitors along the lake shore.

Observation details

Tally of a noisy flock that followed a family with young children walking along the lakeshore, clearly looking for handouts. Most were white but there were a couple of mottled black and brown ducks, a smaller tan individual and one larger fat one with more typical mallard plumage.
