>> just as wild as the Wood Ducks he was with. Awesome.

>> For what it's worth, there is a Mandarin Duck (drake) that has spent the

>> there again about two weeks ago.

>> Other bird of interest is the female Rufous Hummingbird that arrived at our
>> feeder yesterday. This is the fourth or fifth year that she or one like her
