Life at the Annapolis Royal Marsh: Leaving soon

Leaving soon

Just as I was watching some Black Ducks, Mallards and Green-winged Teals on the marsh this morning, a group of about ten ducks flew in and landed among them. They were Northern Shovelers. This male is still molting out of his eclipse plumage into his winter garb. It won't be long before they'll be leaving for their wintering grounds.

How to Post a Comment

It seems there's some confusion as to how to make a comment, so I hope these directions make it easier (I like getting feedback).

Step 1: Under any posting, click on "O comments" (or "1 comment" or "2 comments", whatever the case may be). A new window will open, titled "Post a Comment" above a big blank space.

Step 2: Under the big space you'll see "Comment as" followed by a small space with a little blue box at the right end with a "v" in it. Click on the "v", and a menu will drop down.

Step 3: Click on "Name/URL" in the menu, and another window will open, titled "Edit profile". Enter your name, and ignore the URL part. Click "Continue".

Step 4: Write your comment in the big box.

Step 5: Click "Post Comment" (or you can click "Preview" first if you want to edit your comment before posting)

That's it! 'Hope to hear from you.
