I've been spending a lot of time with the ducks of the Great Swamp. Actually, I've been visiting different areas of the swamp every day. Today I saw two pairs of woodducks in addition to the pair I saw earlier. The first pair I saw shocked me, but the dual pair I saw today was less shocking but still surprising. I have never seen woodducks in the swamp at this time of year but, then again, I am spending a lot more time with the ducks since I retired. I doubt the woodies wintered over. They are probably early arrivals from further south. I don't know for sure, but I sure as heck get a kick out of seeing them.
Clark the retriever and I will do another section of the swamp tomorrow. I'm loving retirement and spending days in the swamp, one of my favorite places on earth.
