Today lots of ducks were on the lake and most of the ice has melted. We had about 60 ducks of various species including Hooded Mergansers, Common Mergansers, Buffleheads, Ring-necked Ducks, Mallards, Black Ducks and Wood Ducks. Above is a male Hooded Merganser displaying where he raises his crest to reveal the white "fan." We sat on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee and looked through our scopes at the duck bonanza. Wonderful!

WOW!
I think if I had seen one of those ducks I would have spit my coffee out in excitement... how unique looking his is! Great pic.
Hello Stokes Family. Robin Stokes here again. :) I hope you are doing well today. I am enjoying seeing the birds on your blog, as I have enjoyed them in your books in the past.
In about a week we should be welcoming the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. They stay for about two weeks. (I'm in S.W. Kentucky). I will blog and take pictures of them when they are here. I hope you will come by and say hello sometime on my blog.
Have a wonderful weekend, Robin Stokes
