I took 'the boys' - Murphy and Brodie - out for a walk at the Farmington Bay refuge. Now at this time of year you cannot take dogs into the refuge itself for the safety of the breeding birds and their babies. So we walked a portion of the exterior on a trail.
The weather was springlike - sprinkles and sun - and the clouds and light played around on the hills. The boys ran and played together and then waited patiently for me to catch up (I had the treats)! Various types of ducks displayed various behavior, your guess is a good as mine!
Enjoy!
