Ducks out of water


I thought I'd check out the sewage lagoon this morning after I saw a pair of Canada geese fly in that direction. I didn't see the geese when I climbed the hill, but I did see a pair of birds on the grassy verge at the end of the lagoon. When I took a closer look through my binoculars, I discovered it was a pair of wood ducks, likely the same pair I saw in the marsh yesterday. This is the first time that I have seen these birds on land, although I know that they do forage in wooded areas (apparently they love acorns).
