Some Old Reid Ducks
Gracie and I did a 3 mile jaunt today....and we saw a few interesting ducks at Old Reid.
This Wood Duck pair dropped in right in front of us and proceeded to leave the ponds and take a walk on the bike path.

Gray Morph Screech Owl at Buck Creek State Park
It's possible that the owl is there more often but just not visible; as the hollowed section appears to drop deeper into the tree. We've never approached the tree to look inside, as we don't want to chance disturbing it.
I'm posting images from yesterday and the previous 5 years. Not sure if it is the same bird each year, or just coincidence that different Gray Morphs use the same eye-level hollow every year.

Merlin at Old Reid Park
Such an awesome encounter at Old Reid today with this Merlin. Likely an immature bird or a female. From All About Birds..."Merlins are small, fierce falcons that use surprise attacks to bring down small songbirds and shorebirds. They are powerful fliers, but you can tell them from larger falcons by their rapid wingbeats and overall dark tones. Medieval falconers called them “lady hawks,” and noblewomen used them to hunt Sky Larks."
