Wild Wednesday ...

... Just Ducky.

Today was absolutely gorgeous ... with a lot less humidity than yesterday.  But still warm and sunny.

After lunch we went to the Palmer Bike trail for our walk. And afterwards we stopped at our favorite Waterfowl Observation area.  I was pleasantly surprised to see lots Wood Ducklings!  As well as all the other ducks, of course.  My collage features an adult female Mallard and an adult male Mallard fanning his fabulous plumage.  The two bottom photos are just two of the wood ducklings.  At this point in their development there is only a slight difference in the two genders.  The males (on left) will exhibit a glossy green head, while the females are gray-brown with a white-speckled breast.  I think ... but entirely sure ... that the duckling on the right is female.  Although, they both could be males!  Please have a look full screen.

No swimming today as we returned home late in the afternoon and I wanted to upload my photos and look through them before I fixed supper.
