A quick pass through Perryville Park today showed only two waterfowl in the
entire expanse of Mill Creek and Furnace Bay: a pair of Ruddy Ducks. 

 

I was surprised to see the water so empty, but the male Ruddy was awfully
cute with his tail sticking straight up.

heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods. More than any other
thing that pertains to the body it partakes of the nature of the divine."
