Morning is a great time to sit in a blind and listen to the world wake up around you. The first thing I heard while it was still dark was a wolf howling somewhere up on the ridge behind our house. They were long lonesome howls making me think that it was a lone wolf trying to locate others in the area. I never heard any answers so after about a dozen howls he must have moved on.Wood Duck 005
Soon the wood ducks dropped in like little planes coming in for a landing. The wood ducks were not alone as several mallards also arrived about the same time. The morning was full of sounds between the quacking ducks, singing birds, spring peepers and wood frogs. I watched and photographed for about two hours before heading back to the house for breakfast.
