Newburyport Wood Ducks - June 19, 2011

A visit with Patsy and her fabulous yard on Father's Day found her Wood Ducks most cooperative. There were a dozen youngsters and the female that came quite close as I sat quietly by the pond.

One of the youngsters came in for a closer look as well.

and here's the female keeping an eye on her brood.

a back lit Painted Turtle kept a watchful eye as well.

A stop at Bird Watcher's Supply & Gift found this Pine Siskin visiting Steve's feeders.
