Left-overs.....

You've all heard of a "mushroom fairy ring"....... .....this is a "Mallard Duck butt ring". LOL

As soon as I got my knee shot, I told Mike to take me to the wetlands! That is called being "optimistic"! Well.....of course the shot wasn't really working yet, so I just checked the ducks to see if the Shoveler was still there. Yep! I wish a male would show up....they are really pretty and she needs a mate.

It turned towards me, so I got a better shot of that "shovel" bill.

This pair is a bit light.....wrong time of day and wrong camera settings, I am sure.

The favorite spot in the overhead sun, seemed to be "under the boardwalk".

(That was a song, once upon a time :-)

Balance

Snoozing

Line-up

Feathers

Headless

That about sums up the ducks today. Sorry about the poor light on these.

I saw something once about taking photos of birds on a wire and turning them into notes of music and playing them......

.....I think this would be full of arpeggios and sixteenth notes!

We drove down to the river to check the level and take some sunset shots (saving that for tomorrow). We were almost too late for the sunset, but I could see a bit of the light shining on the Aztar Casino riverboat.

The hotel across the street.

Back home, I found out that...yes, the hummers are still hanging around. They suggest leaving up feeders into October for stragglers. Shall I make a little sign pointing "south" for her to give her a hint it's time to leave??
