Late Season Rainy Day Drake

            One recent morning I was caught in a sudden rain shower while hiding in the blind at Brick Pond.  I am happy to report that the roof kept me, and more importantly, my gear, safe and dry.  It turned out to be a treat because I'd always wanted to see what happens in a wetland during a rain storm.  Pretty similar to any other day.  Across the pond, a large group of one-week-old wood ducklings continued to swim and dabble with their mama.  Snapping turtles remained on the lodge, and this drake swam extremely close to the blind, filling my frame with his late season beauty.  Spending hours holding a vigil in a single spot offers so many otherwise unseen stories about an ecosystem.  I can't wait to sort through all of my footage and share these tales in a resulting film.
