During our stroll on the Swamp Rabbit Trail in downtown Greenville, So. Carolina last week

Napping along the trail
We caught some ducks napping in mid-morning along the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville, SC
The birds are waiting for spring time like the rest of us
You said it would be warm and plenty of food and room service …
Bufflehead cruiser
Among the Canada geese, mallards, and goldeneye congregating along the shore last week was also a bufflehead duck.
Geese flyby
A graceful pair of Canada geese cruise by looking for a place to land.
Spring goldeneye
The Maine winter weather has been slow to leave and this has reduced our outdoor time. We were quite surprised to get sorta close to this common goldeneye duck species this week.
Ducks waiting for Spring
The ducks and geese are gathering along river, stream, and pond shorelines. Ice out is still in the future and open water is appearing only slowly.
