The kayaks are on the racks and the sunfishes are all anchored and ready to go with the first hint of a little breeze at Great Pond. Sometimes the cloudy days are the most fun!

Beautiful Ring-Necked Ducks at Wiley Park On Cape Cod.
619 viewsThere was a large flock of about 20 Ring-necked Ducks on Great Pond at Wiley Park the other day. They were just gorgeous!
We saw a lot of these ducks out in Colorado way up high on a pond in the Rocky Mountains, so it’s always a treat to see them here too.
Ring-necked Ducks are medium diving ducks that have a blue-gray bill with a white ring and a black tip. I always wondered why they aren’t called “Ring-billed Ducks.”
Beautiful bird, don’t you think? Have you ever seen a Ring-necked Duck?
Still Some Ice At Wiley Park On Cape Cod.

I was surprised to still see some ice on Great Pond while hiking at Wiley Park yesterday morning. With the warmer temperatures the past few days, I thought it would all be melted. You can see the Ring-necked Ducks in the distance, but they couldn’t get close to shore with the ice.
I bet after today with temps in the 20s and wind chills in the teens, they’ll be a lot more ice!
