I’m at the Greene County Expo Center, “located in beautiful Xenia, Ohio” for Cycle-Con, a trade show devoted to mostly recumbent bicycles and tricycles, to show off the UWM PantherTrike.
Anyway, I had some time this morning between sunrise and the start of the show, so I stopped by the picturesque Shawnee Park in town to see who might be up, and the biggest surprise was finding mallard ducklings at this late date. First there was just one.
Then I found three more.
And eventually Mom came by to see who was getting close to her ducklings. I sure hope her ducklings grow up in time to make it through the winter!
The next biggest surprise was finding a great blue heron on the side of a concrete-lined pond. I guess fish is fish, right?
And that’s it for the pictures today. I heard a Carolina wren, which was fun because we don’t see them often in Estabrook, but I wasn’t able to lay eyes on it.
