Ruddy Ducks @ Angostura in Turrialba!!!

Hola Amigos -
Here are the photos taken today of the Ruddy Ducks that were recently found @ La Angostura Dam near Turrialba, Costa Rica.  They were originally found by Jesse Fagan of Field Guides, during a tour to Rancho Naturalista.
We saw at least 8 birds at the same time today, but we only checked one side of the lake, which means there could be more.  We also had nice views of at least 7 Ring-necked Ducks at the same location. 
Ruddy Duck was #765 in Costa Rica for Magdalena and was #780 for myself!
It just makes you wonder what is going to turn up next...
We were also joined yesterday by fellow twitchers:  Peter, Carol & Seyo Westra & Herman & Jennifer Venegas & Aldo Sanchez!
Good Birding - Steven Easley
