Duck in Pond

Another quickie post on the local wildlife.

Our apartment complex tends to attract ducks and migrating geese passing through. The complex is dotted with small man-made ponds which are hooked up to a drainage system in case of heavy rains. Outside of the drainage, they are left to develop naturally, and so it attracts the ducks as a source of food. While taking this photo along with a couple others that haven’t been posted yet, one of the ducks even tried to capture and eat a dragonfly.

Raccoons

Racoon

Didn’t get any good viewing tonight, but the local raccoon decided to make an appearance. I didn’t get a chance to take a picture while it was still on the ground as it was already climbing the tree when I noticed it.
