I took a walk out by a slough that is about a mile from the house yesterday and the ice that had been covering it was gone, The last couple of years I have had a pair of wood ducks nesting at it. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I found that not only were they back, but I had another pair there too. I figure that this is one of their hatching's from last year and it has brought along a mate. No pictures yet as I didn't take my camera with me. Good Birding To All Chuck Stiltner
