Equinox ducks

 

Pair of ducks on Spring Equinox, 2011. I used to call these Wood Ducks, but stand corrected because there is now a photo identification posted at Lake Tomahawk.  This is the Mandarin Duck!

    1. They no longer come to our lake because all the brush and trees which sheltered them has been cleared away.

    1. I was so thrilled to get near enough for these photos. Didn't realize that may be the only chance I'll get.
