Fowl weather

Apparently our waterfowl are getting quite randy...

 I caught these Hooded Mergansers hooking up on a very cold creek

 Mallard couple...practicing synchronized landings

 Mallards and several Hoodie couples...swimming away from the intrusive photographer

 More Mallards, and surprise Hoodies on Massie Creek!

 Mallards in the sun on the Mad River

 Oh! Male Canvas-back Duck wintering on the Mad

 Ignoring the many Mallards

 Oh, Canada...I found your geese...

 They love the Mad, whose swift waters never fully freeze over

 Even the common Horned Larks seem to be in the mood...

 Not so much the wild turkeys...

 They're too busy picking over last year's cornfields
