They showed up a few days ago. On the heels of the receding pond ice. Wonder if they’re the same pair that visited last spring? Or the spring before that? After a week or so, she disappears. Then sometime later, don’t remember how long, the drake follows. The pics below, taken today, show the drake in the pond, with the female (dame?) standing on the end of the dock. In one pic, there’s even a shot of a drake on the back deck. Click a pic to slide through em.
