Nice Ducks

These mallards and a blue winged teal or two are hanging out in just about the only open water that is left around here.  It was pretty cold (~10 F) but that was a warm up from the -18 F last week.  I don’t know how long this open water will last, I don’t recall last year if it closed up or not but I think it did.  There is a bit more down by the old Mat-Su townsite that might be productive too.  We went down there last Sunday though and did not see a thing.  The birding forums were reporting that a GBH had been in that area but we did not find it.
