Today’s weather was more of the same nice slightly above normal temperatures with lots of sun. The only wrinkle in the pattern was a strong wind out of the north. Wind gusts made things interesting from time to time.

It was a slow day. For exercise and diversion I went to the Wetlands park again this afternoon. I hiked the trails and watched the birds in the ponds. Even with good pictures of the water based birds and the internet I haven’t figured out what I’m watching beyond diving ducks. Regardless of what you call them, they are entertaining. Here are some of my duck pictures.
