Life at the Annapolis Royal Marsh: Coat of many colors

Coat of many colors

Yesterday, although cloudy, cold and windy, there was still a goodly number of birds to seen around the marsh. On the sewage lagoon, the Wood Duck pair were still present, and luckily for me, closer to the fence, so I was able to get this clear shot of the male. Now in his full winter regalia, he has to be the best dressed duck on the marsh. No sign of him today, however; maybe he's now the best dressed duck heading south!

A most handsome fellow indeed - great portrait of him. Wood ducks are fairly numerous in our area from March through October and one male actually overwintered last year. He stayed among a flock of mallards and joined them for their daily corn ration.

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.
