Baisley Pond in Queens, New York, is a small city park that plays host to a nice variety of ducks in the winter. I first went there on January 18, 2018, to see the redheads (I had never seen them before), and returned to see more redheads, plus the ring-necked ducks and whatever other ducks I could see on February 15, 2019. The February trip resulted in a video, On Baisley Pond, with a multitude of ducks and a handsome young red-tailed hawk.
