I thought I'd better check the marsh this morning for any new arrivals, since by the sounds of things the weather might not be very conducive for marsh walking for a bit. Many buffleheads are scattered throughout the marsh, with courtship displays in full swing. I couldn't help but laugh out loud while watching a pair of males strut their stuff in front of a seemingly inattentive female this morning. Several black ducks and ring-necks were resting on the little round island in the middle of the marsh, but the other inhabitants took a bit of sleuthing to find. It paid off, as I found one male American wigeon (top photo) sounding its two-note call, two pairs of wood ducks, and one male green-winged teal. I'm sure there are more about, just keeping a low profile.
Great pictures!Thanks for sharing!
