Waterfowl in Central Park Photo Gallery by Ellen Michaels at pbase.com

Waterfowl in Central Park

The lakes, ponds, and reservoir of Central Park serve as vital winter sanctuaries and seasonal resting stops for an incredible variety of wild ducks and geese, drawing bird watchers and nature photographers from all over the world.
This gallery features my images of Central Park's diverse waterfowl.
You will find photos of year-round residents like the Mallard and the American Black Duck, alongside stunning migratory species that visit during the colder months, including Green-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, Gadwalls, Buffleheads, Hooded Mergansers, and the famous Mandarin Duck.
Although my main focus is waterfowl in Central Park you will also see photos of ducks and geese in other waterways.
