Back out around noon today. No complaints – this was a perfect day for walking and photography, though quite a few others felt fishing was the thing to do. There was a good amount of the smaller birds flitting around and I discovered a duck on the fishing pond that I have never noticed before. Posted below is a shot of a Redhead Duck (research tells me that they are diving ducks) just starting a dive. I probably could have gotten a nice series of the dive if I had then known what to expect but this shot is pretty cool. The Osprey couple I spotted on Tuesday were still around though they were just sitting in the nest that they had been working on. I’m looking forward to catching one of them doing a little fishing. Things are starting to look up.
