We have a Hooded Merganser again laying an egg a day since Friday 13th. We call her Lucky. This morning I could hear a male doing its display call outside the box while Lucky was in the box. Fortunately, she picked the box with our camera mounted in it.
Marty and I spent most of last Tuesday putting out duck boxes. It was quite a slog wading through water and mud holes. We have 10 boxes altogether. Hopefully the Wood Ducks appreciate our efforts!
Yesterday, Gail and I installed a duck box at a pond about 3 miles up the mountain from us. You can see the box on the right.
This morning we took advantage of the minus tide and took Daisy to Ocean Beach.
Looking down the coast towards Haceta Lighthouse. There was a sea lion on the beach at one point. Luckily I was able to leash up Daisy before she saw it. She would have charged it if she could!
This afternoon I saw several steelhead trout spawning in the river on our property. Below is a link to video I took of a pair in action. Such beautiful strong fish!
