Yesterday was cold and windy, but there were still many waterfowl on the water at the marsh. These five American Black Ducks were part of a group of ten that were clustered together (three males in front with yellow bills, followed by two females with olive bills). An American Coot is shown in the background. There were two coots rather than the three I had seen the day before. I watched them for a few minutes feeding; when they dive, they almost jump out of the water first, and then bob to the surface a few seconds later. It's a good thing these birds wear down coats.
