Wood Ducks at Great Meadows NWR

I missed yet another scheduled walk at Great Meadows.    I wrote down 4:00, and it turns out that is when it ended.  Makes sense since the sun goes down shortly after 4.  Don't know what I was thinking!

I did show up a bit early (!), so I was able to get about 35 minutes in before it was dark.

Good night, goose!
