With water - comes waterfowl

Didn't get for a walk until later than normal this afternoon but boy was there activity out there....


the amount of waterfowl was astounding....lots of ducks, mainly Mallard - we estimated about a thousand easily, with several hundred American Wigeon mixed in.


Canada Geese too, 


just 1 pair of Trumpeter Swans.


over at the log bay rope barriers have been set up in preparation for the weekend.  Lets hope visitors respect them.


this female Common Merganser was right in the bay....


while the chase was on as the lead male must have had a particularly tasty morsel.


activity every where you looked!

Oh, and eagles, well yes there were some eagles, probably about 300 of them way out on the dry areas of the estuary, although a dozen or more were perched in nearby trees.
