Duck Day

Today was a day the wetlands were alive with activity from numerous ducks, geese and other birds.  While I did see a pair of mallards, I discoved  8 of the Green-winged teal ducks in pairs of two's.  The grasses are starting to poke through the water and the water level is high with the arrival of a good amount of rain on Friday.  It was not as warm as I thought, but the trail was busy with a few joggers, walkers and later cyclists along the Captial Trail section.
