We went for a walk in the park at the end of the street. It separates a freshwater lake from tidal marsh. However, there's a lot of privet, green briar, poison ivy, and even kudzu, that should be removed. I didn't see any wildlife in the marsh, but the lake was populated with cormorants and ducks and one great blue heron. Most of the ducks were mallards with a few hooded mergansers and at least one Northern shoveler.
There were mallards and hooded mergansers on the creek at home, but they weren't interested in being photographed. The regular feeder birds visited and the scarred white throat foraged beneath. Yellow jackets fed on the camellia flowers. I took lots of pictures of colored leaves. And that was Thanksgiving.
