Wood Ducks and More

On the birding hotline list serve that I subscribe to someone sent an e-mail out asking where to see Wood Ducks in the Salt Lake area, the reply was Bues Park in Ogden would be a sure bet. I have only seen Wood Duck in the wild once many years ago and I had no pictures so I decided to follow that recomendation and went out to Bues Park this morning. Not only did I find Wood ducks but many birds as well.
I spotted the following birds at Bues Park.
