Notes ⁴

Andrea's "demon ducks." All-black bodies, red eyes, white bill, and greeny-yellow feet. These like larger bodies of water and are more common towards the bay. There can be amazing numbers of them, particularly at the Shoreline golf course. Their chicks have bright orange fuzz and huge feet.
