Where did our warm sunny spring run off to? We added layers again this morning to fight the nasty wind coming across the lake. We were glad to be bundled. Each morning we scare off two pair of wood ducks. They are so beautiful. On our return trip today we also flushed out a very cautious Scaup. It was too far away to get an exact match on the species but it was quite a sight to watch it take off across the water. Like the loon yesterday, the white underside of the Scaup was almost blindingly white. After a winter of washed out color and a spring still brown, the bright plumage of the migrating birds is a rare treat!
