Well not so little really, 9 Spotted Whistling Ducks have been observed feeding in our wetlands and although it is getting a bit crowded in our shrinking ponds they are finding food. The first two photos were taken earlier this morning on our Spring Fed pond – there was at least 1 duck perched in a tree as lookout but when later on they flew over Allen on their way to Graham’s pond he counted 9.
Graham’s pond was also hosting approximately fifty Spoonbills but they are more nervous than the few that have been here for a while and took off for a more secluded area on the property. One Glossy Ibis, a new entry for the Wild Wings bird list is keeping the ducks company.
