Early birds


What a change at the marsh this morning, after several cold, windy days. The air was filled with birdsong and the marsh was filled with waterfowl - plus a raft of seagulls. I spotted something way out next to one of the islands, and upon a closer look discovered these two Northern Shoveler males, the first I've noticed this year. They are commonly late arrivals, so nice to see them here. (American black duck in the background.)
