While birding in a local arboretum, I came across this group of male Mallards casually swimming in Cooks Creek. They seemed undeterred from the purpose of their outing by my uninvited appearance.

I saw a duck or mallard or something along 42 in Harrisonburg and wished I could help her/him cross the street. I never know males from females. But that’s me.
