This little fellow (little gal?) was swimming lazily around the pond this weekend when we pulled in at III. We made him just a little anxious but he only dived and swam to the other side of the pond and then watched and waited until we would forget about him. Then he'd be back on our side of the pond again.
Wildlife is not our area of expertise and we aren't even sure if this little guy is a duck or a goose. I'm guessing "duck". Maybe he is the ugly duckling . . . which would really make him a swan (kidding. just kidding!) I'm sure he's not a loon. Well, pretty darn sure anyway!
"Guy" appears to be half grown. Was he the runt of the litter and left behind to finish growing? Was he injured and has to recouperate on our pond before heading south? Will he still be there on our next trip to III?

Next trip down, he was gone. I'm going to believe that he healed up and headed out. And then caught up with his brothers. That IS my story. Stickin' to it.
