This Mallard drake was swimming all alone in Chautauqua Lake( about 45 minutes from our home in SW NY state ). We stopped there to eat lunch by the water in hopes of seeing lots of ducks, but this was the only one. He swam around for about 2 minutes, then hopped up on the bank and took a nap.
It's been a wet gloomy day. Temps in the mid 60's. Right now there are warnings for a thunder storm headed our way.

We came across a field where 6 Turkey Vultures were eating on a dead animal. Of course as soon as we stopped they flew away. They are amazing fliers. So graceful in the air, and so ugly on the ground.

This is a bench that Gary made for us several years ago so we can sit by the edge of the water. It's made from a piece of old sidewalk.
