Debonair ducks


There had to be at least 100 ducks feeding out on the marsh this morning, along with others resting on the islands. These Ring-necked Ducks were part of a group of about 40 birds that I saw on the far side of the marsh. With their erect posture, it's fairly easy to pick them out by their silhouettes. Plus they are usually the only duck on the marsh that dives to feed rather than 'dabbling'. (The grebes are not ducks, but are related to the loons.)
