Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Another roll of the duck wheel…

This time it’s a female Wood Duck on half-iced Crescent Water.

Perhaps because there wasn’t that much open water, this was an unusually close-up duck, so I got some fair photos. Typically, this species paddles away to the far side of the local ponds as quick as can be.
