On the way home the next evening I spotted a pair of ducks across the lake as I was counting the other ducks. Hmmmm...
Driving to the other corner of the lake, I could get a bit closer to those ducks but someone was letting their dogs get a little out of hand and it was causing the ducks to begin moving farther out in the water I managed a shot of the mystery ducks and got home and posted to some friends. Looking at the images later, blown way up, it was easier to see these were female Redhead Ducks!
Yay! Something besides the Ring-necked Ducks. Not that I mind them.
Another interesting find was made just before I spotted the Redheads. There were six Blue-winged Teal on the edge of the other flocks. Big deal? Oh, yeah! In all these years of watching this lake I have never seen Blue-winged Teal on it that I can recall. They usually go to other lakes for some reason.
Now they are here. I am happy. Maybe this is a sign of more interesting things to come this season. Feathers crossed...
