Fickle weather


Yesterday the marsh was still ice-covered, so I checked to see where the ducks may have relocated. I found a group of about 35 black ducks and mallards in the cove at the sail center, a few of which are seen here. However, the sewage lagoon drew the most of the displaced; some 65 black ducks, buffleheads and at least one of the hooded mergansers were enjoying the ice-free water. Back they all came today, though, when the ice went out with the return of mild weather.
