Hi,
Was traveling between Interlaken and Lodi on Rte 96-A when a wood
duck family scurried across the highway, the tiny ducklings strung so
close together behind their mother that momentarily it looked like a
strange long-tailed wood duck! Traffic on both sides hit the brakes and
the family made it safely across. I neglected to see exactly where this
was, so not sure if this was in the basin or not, but it was definitely
very cute and seemed a bit early for wood ducklings - the ones on the
pond near our house are still courting.
Then later watched a definitely OOB Mourning Warbler closer to home,
a silent female that popped up in a pile of brush by the road while I
was looking at something else entirely. Lots of other warblers, vireos
& migratory thrushes out and about as well. Beautiful day out there!
