the Way of the Turtle

2.1 Mile Walk at Buckingham Pond
Wednesday, May 4, 2016

I'd originally planned to go for a run tonight but my legs are distressingly beat from the past two days... so I ended up at the Pond for some walking. Given all the other goslings I've been seeing I thought maybe the eggs would have hatched, but not yet - though while I was there the female got off the nest and spent some time in the water. I don't know if that means she can hear the munchkins getting ready to hatch or if she's given up on the eggs hatching - my guess is the former.

No female mallards in sight, which leads me to suspect they are nesting as well. 

Rainy weather meant fewer people at the pond... always a plus!
