Another nesting season for #WoodDuck #AixSponsa #WODU and #HoodedMerganser #LophodytesCucullatus #HOME is chugging along at Huntley Meadows Park. We have 4 boxes with clutches incubating, and eggs in another 4 boxes. Box #62 (pictured) was replaced this year, and already has a clutch of 10 eggs, with perhaps more to come. We expect hatching in late April-early May.

Wood ducks are the quintessentially "ready for my closeup" creatures. No such thing as a bad photo of one. :)

Thanks to @[email protected] for letting me know the #woodduck was at the #Halifax Public Gardens today. I (happily) dropped my housework to go get photos. #birds
Fall at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

After having dinner in Reston and staying overnight at the AC Hotel, we visited the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in the morning. We saw the preparations for the Winter Walk of Lights as well as various flowers and a few birds. After, we had lunch in Vienna and visited the Leesburg Premium Outlets before returning home via Frederick.
