Conducting DuckShe looks like she is conducting an orchestra. Or perhaps directing traffic? Either way she is really into what she is doing. She was actually alternating between stretching and flapping hard and I got her in mid-flap. |

Duck Taking FlightI think these are the same ducks from our last trip to the gardens! I think she said something to insult the Koi. Because the Koi jumped out of the water near her and made her take off like this. Of course I can't say I blame her. The Koi was twice her size! |

Alice's DucksWe had another nice walk through Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens today. (Commonly mistaken as just Alice Keck Park. As in Alice Keck's park, but her name was Alice Keck Park, and it is her Memorial Garden.) I only point this out because it was not entirely clear to me until today. Actually, I guess I just never thought about it before today.So, on to the Ducks. They were chasing each other around the pond the whole time we were there. Ahhh, spring is here! :-D Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens 11 | Anas platyrhynchos 3 | drake 1 | duck 4 | flap 3 | hen 1 | Iris 5 | lily pad 8 | Mallard 3 | ripple 5 | spring 3 | water 55 | wing 26 |

Lake Los CarnerosThere are some places that you can live right next to and never know they are there. The Monarch Butterfly Overwintering spot in Santa Barbara is one of them, and this is another.I know I am not the only one that is surprised by this place. Last week at the Art Walk I listened to a "Local" tell his friends from out of town that this was the bird refuge, right down the street from where we were standing (which, of course, it is not). Where I was standing to take this picture, I had my back to the 101 Freeway about 50 feet away, right near the Los Carneros exit. But, due to the rolling land and the trees, you would never have any idea it was here. Fortunately there is a good adult education program here that has some excellent nature hikes. duck 4 | field 3 | lake 7 | Lake Los Carneros 1 | mountain 7 | Park 5 | ripple 5 | tree 47 | water 55 |
