Young wood duck

Friday
Today was a beautiful day, with slightly lower temperatures and less humidity, so I got out for a walk at Sharon Woods - through the gorge, and around the lake. I believe I'm right with my identification of this as a young wood duck - I'm open to correction or confirmation! There was a mother (human mother that is!) and her little boy feeding the ducks, and they had drawn quite a crowd. This evening Roger and I drove up to Detroit, ready to bring Laura home from her summer mission trip, helping to run a summer camp for inner city kids.
