Today was one of those on again, off again sort of days….sometimes it was dry…
and other times, it was anything but! This area of the path was alive with Golden Crown Kinglets and Chestnut-backed Chickadees…just like yesterday..
but everywhere else was pretty much deserted.
There was this female Common Merganser over at the log bay…
1 pair of Green Wing Teal and 1 pair of Mallard…the Bald Eagles that were around seemed to be in serious hunting mode, which I suspect is why the ducks had fled…
Both this Merganser, and one that had been up the other end (the only duck at the other end) had both been successful catching lunch…Common Merganser are fish eaters and this one had caught a fish almost too big for it to swallow…in fact it was still wrestling with it when we headed for home.
