1.4 Mile Walk at Buckingham Pond
Friday, November 6, 2015
Actually, there have been increasing numbers of ducks at the pond for the last few weeks... a bit of a surprise after seeing very few of them there this summer. There's a pair of what I suspect are domestic ducks (they're a good deal larger than the mallards, and have slightly different colors and calls) hanging out with the oodles of mallards, but the big surprise today was a male wood duck mingling with one of the groups, initially snoozing on the shoreline but then swimming a bit later. It will be interesting to see if he sticks around... given how nervous wood ducks tend to be, I won't be surprised if he's gone the next time I go there.
