Crumbly Acres Saturday's Critters

 We spotted a familiar bright orb in the sky. It's been appearing infrequently. Thursday was quiet, and I suggested a drive to Narrows Locks. Sadly, the sun disappeared.

Ducks and swans!

This is an archive photo, but I spotted a female merganser.

I heard an expert talking about what these birds eat. He said algae on the underwater rocks. Who knew?!

 

I was impressed with his equipment! 


I was mystified with this cage on the guard house.



It was cool, dark, and Mr. Sun disappeared.

They have bubblers that keep the water open around the docks.




For more Canadian critters...

    Apparently, the trumpeter swans are back in our general area. I hope we come across them and get some photos.

    Even when it was warm yesterday and the sun came out for a bit it was so windy. There seem to be few birds around at all.

    Hello, Jenn
    Great photos of the ducks and swans. The swans and mergansers are favorites. I call those big lenses bazooka lenses, they are so big. I can only imagine how heavy they feel. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

    Maybe they're trying to keep animals out of that building? Loved the ducks.

    Cute video. We again apologize for our jerk alleged leader until the smart ones rise up and figure out how to get him out! Our K.C. news says 2-3 Tim Horton's are coming. Linda in Kansas
