At the end of October, my family flew to Florida for a multi-day road trip aimed at the beautiful springs. Water quality was good that day, and we could perfectly see the waving eelgrass, the freshwater fish species, the adorable turtles. We had an ambitious itinerary planned: six springs within eight Florida State Parks.

We presume they lose their feet to fish, as the red lure must be quite enticing! They love to hang out in town around the Fish and Chip shops for some reason! The gull on the right has nice red legs and bill and is a full adult bird. This covers all species in both the duck and gull family in most households!

Feeding birds is generally regarded as a harmless past-time, a wholesome way for people to share nature and enjoy wildlife with the family. Granted, the law is written poorly, but the man was given several warnings and insisted on feeding birds on the ground and attracted huge flocks of ducks and no doubt raccoons at night.

As birders, we tend to spend more time in wetlands than most of our peers, neighbors, and family members. Unless those non-birding folks happen to be duck hunters or love to go fishing, they tend to stay away from the marshes, the riparian zones, the bottom lands. It doesn’t exactly sun bathe but the name still fits.

I was vacationing on Kennebago Lake, where my family has been coming every summer for nearly twenty years. Not impeded by branches or the need to bushwhack, we could paddle right up close to the sound, in this case the merry singing of a White-throated Sparrow. Ring-necked Ducks. They were there, but I couldn’t see them.

Stretching over the water, big boughs dangled their flowers below, so a passerby literally had to duck their heads to avoid the bloom. Across the bridge, my eyes wandered from the white marble columns of the Memorial to a pair of ducks twenty or thirty feet from the edge of the path. Though you know, I was surprised. Weather is weird.
