Thanks, Robin. No TC, but a lot of time standing or sitting quietly. The ducks move away when I arrive, but slowly get used to me. There are enough people in the area that hey are somewhat used to human presence, too.
A group of Bluejays were harassing this Great Horned Owl this morning. The owl has a nest site nearby, so she's not going anywhere no matter how much the Bluejays might wish she would leave.
"Um, excuse me, but that's my crawdad. I caught it fair and square." The Merganser tried a couple of times to take the crawdad back, but was not successful.
A Crow took this crawdad away from a gull who had stolen it from a Merganser who caught it in the first place. Thievery is very common in the bird world.
