Ducks on Lake Nelson

Female Wood Duck

Wood Duck with Mallards

American Widgeon

A few migratory ducks are spending an occasional evening at Lake Nelson. Today, Chris was happy to see a female wood duck by the dock, although the mallards weren't particularly interested in the visitor. A widgeon came by yesterday. Neither stayed long, but the loon has been here more than a week.
