more fun with the birds - CM State Park- CMP

Another sunny day to get out of the house and visit a favored spot in CMP. There are a number of nice paths in the park. This year there are not as many ducks around which I found surprising. I wondered if our warmer than normal winter has caused the ducks to move back North sooner than in past years. I asked someone who knows birds why there were less ducks but they had no answers.
