May Day is for Ducks!
Fresh air and a walk, does a body good, and so I headed to Coulon Park. The ducks and geese were plentiful, though no ducklings in evidence yet.
These two brown beauties were smaller than the rest. My Peterson Field Guide identified them as Cinnamon Teal, a perfect name, I think.
These Canada Geese failed to read the signs.
unless they are indeed lifeguards?
Happy May Day!

Thanks, Pete. I’d never seen them before. That beautiful cinnamon color really caught my eye. They’re found in western North and South America.
