In the cattails near the viewing stand, where the Red-winged Blackbirds nest in the spring, I have noticed ducks lying in what little space they could find. Over the years, the 'loafing bars' that were left for the birds to rest on when this marsh was created, have worn away completely or down to almost nothing. Especially with this summer's high water level, resting spots have become a premium. This morning, I found this Black Duck sleeping in an awkward position on a cattail clump.
