Happy Ducks!

On our way home from Lancaster, where Chet works, we pass a large open field that is part of the floodplain for the lower Nashua River. Right next to the road is a small pond, and we have been watching the ducks there for the last 2 weeks. Today I saw my first wood duck! But it flew away when Robbie opened the van door for a better look with the field glasses. Perhaps it will come back tomorrow? We also saw a good assortment of mallards, with their irridescent green heads, and finally identified a single pair of green winged teals. Robbie snagged that id; he is really into birds! So the pix you see here are from our bird book and I'll try to get some real photo's of "our" duck pond another day!
