March 25

I went for a short hike here in Stoney Creek. There's a persistent damp area in the east section of the small pine forest at the end of my street. Not much grows there, and downed trees are common seen there. As I hiked by that area, I saw a male and a female Wood Duck standing on a couple of the downed trees. I think that they saw me, but they decided to act like statues rather than fly away. I stayed there for a few minutes, and watched them move about a little bit, but they were literally "ducks out of water" and weren't quite sure what to do.
