There were a lot of mallards settled under the trees as we walked along the path at our local reserve. We’re experiencing very high temperatures right now and shady spots are at a premium.

She was not giving up that spot 😁. The temperatures have certainly gone up a notch, everywhere. Yesterday afternoon there was nothing moving behind our house. We live in this heat/humidity environment but it was too much for here also. The family in Maine might as well have been down here last night. The heat never left…all night.

Dappled shade provides good camouflage as well! Stay cool. 🥵

The little female mallards in particular are so lovely. Yes, I bet they are looking for any way to cool off. Nice photo, Belinda.

She found a great shady spot to take in the day from. I hope you found some too!

There’s a bit of a breeze by the water. But not a day to linger outside 🥵
