I knew without a photo you wouldn't believe this one about birds [View all]

We see them every year. The marsh is just down the hill from us in plain site. But even with our telephoto lense shooting between the trees makes a good shot hard to impossible to get.

Two days ago we had another first at our feeders. A pair of mallards were eating corn out of the squirrels ground feeder.
