Ruddys Return

Not much out of the ordinary out on the lakes tonight until I spotted a couple of small shapes out on Lake Davis. Though they were sleeping you can definitely make out the facial patterns of Ruddy Ducks floating on the surface.



Nice to see. I don't think I found any Ruddy Ducks in the past couple of years out there. Still searching for any weird arrivals before the season is out but duck numbers are rather low all over the area. I blame the weather. December and still in the mid- to upper-80s every day.
