Searching Ponds

Since the beginning of April, I've been going around to different ponds in London.  A pond in southeast London had some Hooded Mergansers, Bufflehead, a Pied-billed Grebe.  The area around the pond, I saw Killdeers, Turkey Vultures, Song Sparrows, Brown-headed Cowbirds, and Red-Winged Blackbirds.

I checked out Westminster Ponds one day.  A Red-necked Grebe was reported there.  The grebe was way out at the other end of the pond at one point.  It was diving and eventually came closer.  I have seen a Red-necked Grebe but it was a long time ago.  It was nice to see this beautiful bird.

I noticed a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers.  It was a very dull day, so my photos are dark.
