 The shot I sent you last week is actually the 1st shot of a 3 shot sequence. Just thought you might enjoy the other two. By the way, although it looks questionable in the last shot, we actually did make it through and managed to stay in the boat. (photo by Bud Holbein) |

 Rick left me at Woodland Lake for just a half an hour today, while he went shopping. It was a perfectly gorgeous day. I saw birds I had never seen there before today. Joy-Vernon |
 This was the first time I have ever seen Double-crested Cormorants at Woodland Lake. This couple was sitting in this dead tree today, April 26, 2010. The Double-crested Cormorant is the most numerous and widespread North American cormorant. Joy-Vernon |
 The Double-crested Cormorant's numbers decreased in the 1960s due to the effects of DDT. Colonies of these birds have been persecuted from time to time in areas where they are thought to compete with human fishing. Joy-Vernon |

 I was very surprised and pleased to see this solitary male Ruddy Duck today at Woodland Lake. Ruddy Ducks are a member of the tribe of "stiff-tailed" ducks...it has a spiky tail that it often holds straight up in display although it wasn't held up in the photos I took. There seemed to be no mate or other Ruddy Ducks today. Joy-Vernon |
 Rudy Male Duck and Its Reflection... The Ruddy male duck has a beak that is a Robin's Egg shade of blue as you can see in this photo. Joy-Vernon |
