Mill river ducks
Ducks head upstream in flight over the Mill river on the Maine coast last weekend. They spent the previous hour wandering in the mud at low tide (you can see some of their tracks in the lower right corner of the image).
Turkey crossing
We came upon a group of turkeys today when we hiked in the woods across the road. The temperature was about 40f and the snow was becoming “sugar” snow (softer and denser than usual).

Wood duck in the bog
We approached the bog and the ducks flew away. I wandered along the bank and waited twenty minutes for something to happen. Just before I turned to leave, this male wood duck flew in for a landing 10 yards away.
