Today was the day of the duck on the Humber Recreational Trail. I biked out to the path to my favourite birding spot at Esther Lorrie Park located right on the trail. It’s always the place to find ducks. And there were ducks aplenty today.

This juvenile duck was just getting his colouring which made for a fascinating pattern on his head.

It wasn’t long before the ladies waddled their way along the grass and into the water to find a good “napping” spot as they float on the river. A peaceful, sunny day on the river. I could almost take a nap here myself.
