Every year we see one, and only one, American Coot (68) on our little pond. Today he was with a group of 3 male Mallards. As I was walking back up the hill to our house I noticed there was another duck with a whitish bill. It was the male Ruddy Duck from the Pool. He was now hanging out with the Mallards. But in the time it took me to walk up to the house and get my camera and walk back down he was gone! So no photo.
Sadly, the Killdeer nest is empty and no adults around. The eggs weren't due to hatch until later next week so I suspect the eggs were predated.
