summit lake again

Well, we went to see loons. Seven loons were reported earlier Easter morning. Later i saw a picture of one in Portage Lakes, i guess they went a little south, the waters connect. This shoveler pair were close enough in the photo to be clear focus. Shovelers were close enough for a good shot, they are very small ducks about the size of coots. Any further out, they would be fuzzy, and not sharp. That bill is a good percentage of body length.

Mallards are the easiest wild duck to fotograph, and about the largest ones to be seen in Ohio.

Notice the odd lobed feet of the coot/mudhen.

Bullfrog was inside the small nature center.
