American Black Ducks.

A day much like yesterday, except the trail was stamped down pretty good and I remembered to wear snowshoes and Jack’s bandage didn’t fall off. Buncha little birds up there but only one nuthatch posed for pics.

So this afternoon, en route back from the dump, I swung by Rockport Harbor and took photos of American Black Ducks. I do so love those handsome birds.
