The Ducks Of Winter

These ducks come for the winter and leave in the spring.
I took these pictures on March 26th and they were still here, they may be gone now.

The turtles are back!


And on this day, there were a lot of daffodils.

Hello,
Love all the ducks, the Ruddy Duck is a favorite. The turtles are cute, I've seen some here too. It is nice and warm today. Take care, enjoy your day!

When I was a young lad, I thought for sure I wanted to be an ornithologist. Until I found out they just don't make enough money. Of those, the Scaup (we call them Bluebills) are my favorite. Speedy little birds!

Beautiful. Once our snow has melted, I hope to see some of those ducks around here.

Love the ducks but the turtles are exceptional. I love turtles and have never lived where they live.

Beautiful day to capture the ducks before they go on their way. I always love seeing the turtles hanging out on tree trunks :) Topping off with blooming flowers, you can't beat that day!

You get a great variety of waterfowl! These are so nice against the blue water! I've done some fishing recently and the turtles are definitely out!
