Ducks....Part 2

Since tomorrow will be raining, we decided to postpone the housekeeping chores and head back to the park to see if any new ducks had popped in. 


The Ring-Necked Ducks we gorgeous in the morning light.

A resident Northern Shoveler Duck and his mate came close to give us a look.



Lots of Mallards, and their colors were beautiful.

There were a few Hooded Mergansers; this fellow came to see us.

Ducks, Ducks, Ducks!

With the warm up this week, ducks are moving into the smaller ponds at Old Reid which are thawing faster than the lake. I stopped by on my way home from work and shot a couple of images; then David and I headed out this morning as the fog was lifting. We had good luck with several Hooded Mergansers, RedHeads, and Lesser Scaup....and a Common Golden Eye
