A female Ruddy Duck was found this evening in the pond at Florham Fields off of Columbia Turnpike. There are late Ruddy Duck records from May in Morris County. Last year, 4 were seen on Mt. Hope Lake on May 22. Nevertheless, it is still an unusual sighting for the MoCoSoCo area at this time of year.
