What's going on here??


I like to check the sewage lagoon most days on my marsh walks, as it seems to be a popular gathering spot. Yesterday morning I was pleasantly surprised to see this black duck family. Mom was leading the procession - with a male wood duck bringing up the rear! I think it was just coincidental, as there was a whole group of male wood ducks at the far end of the lagoon. I had seen 20 of them there the previous day. And, a fellow marsh walker tells me there was a new wood duck family at the marsh today, with about 15 chicks.

Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention that there is a new Canada goose family at the marsh - with two young.
