When we arrived at the pond, we saw an American Coot (Hi, ya old Coot!) and a new bird which we later identified as an American Avocet. We could not see the birds close up, but got a better look with the zoom on the camera.
Mr. Mallard looked very dapper in his orange galoshes. I think the avocet on the right was doing T-Tapp, balancing on one leg while stretching its neck to drain those lymph nodes.
We freed the toddler from his chariot to trudge around the pond with the big kids.
I watched the avocets as well as the children. Evan and Sophie tried reasoning with the toddler to return to his stroller. *Snicker*

Have you told the older siblings that they were just as stubborn when they were two and that it was going to get worse before it gets better?
