This pond is home to one of the rookeries where last spring and summer I watched Herons, Egrets and Anhingas raise a new generation.
Now in early December it is quiet with just a few ducks paddling out in the middle or staying tucked into the far corner. More ducks are expected but the warmer than usual fall along the east coast may be keeping them away.
The quiet is nice and I’ll be back throughout the winter to look around but I do look forward to witnessing the trees and the birds start a new cycle.
With the Artic cold air upon us up the east coast, I imagine the ducks are already enroute to you! 🙂
I hope they at least pause here, off schedule they may just go on by. Many of the wildlife management areas are closed until February so we may not know.
Lovely shots. Our favourite reserve is quiet too, blanketed in snow.
Thanks, Belinda. I hope you’ll be able to get out there some–it’s a long time till the spring thaw for you.
I know😏
Hope to before too long. Spring is too long to wait😏
