I usually post photos from Frog Song Pond over on my other blog site, The Daily Frog, but I can't resist sharing the arrival of the first ducks to cruise around the melting ice this morning. I know Mallards are common, but they still dazzle me. Check out that iridescent green on the drake's head, and the hen's dash of bright orange on her beak. In a world of late winter browns and grays, these colors are quite exciting.
A critter book project has made it to a sweet publisher's finalist list, so I'm holding my breath that I'll be collaging and leaf printing soon.
Update, 3/19: Check the frog blog HERE to see who else appeared today!! Very exciting....

I always look for the American Mergansers that raise their young on our river as it crosses our property. No sign of them yet.
We also wait to hear the sandhill cranes with all their clatter as they fly. They next and rear their young on our open fields.
