Are you old enough to remember the days when flocks of geese really did fly south? The geese in this area don’t seem to follow that rule anymore. Here are a few I photographed yesterday in a local lake.
A great article explaining why geese don’t fly south anymore can be found here: Why Geese Don’t Fly South
While I was photographing the resident birds, I caught sight of this strange duck. It resembles birds we see when we vacation on Block Island in Rhode Island. Anyone know it’s name? I doubt I will see it next time I visit the lake.



Kathy. I believe it is a male duck and they are called drake. My Dad used to raise these when I was much younger.
