Off in the distance

 

A white duck with a dark head.

 

We don’t know any white ducks with dark heads, so we looked closer.

 

It’s a bird grooming.  He’s rolled over to scratch his belly like a sea otter.

 

And flap his wings when he’s right-side-up.

 

 

It’s a common loon.

 

 

Our first of the year.
