We caught this pair of mergansers paddling around the pond edge again this week.

This is another view of the wood ducks from the far bog taken last week. I wanted to give viewers a look at the pair as they cruised around their apparent boggy home. We have seen them several times over the last few weeks. We believe this is a different pair then the birds we have seen nearer our house (see yesterday’s post).

The female wood duck that I have encountered several times on the stream near our house preened herself on this bridge railing.

Not sure who this guy is. Early springtime in the woods of Maine.

A lucky break while creeping along the far bog last week. A pair of wood ducks were foraging and did not realize my presence.

While walking past the pond, we spotted a pair of goldeneye ducks feeding. This one just popped up from below.
