aha ! my husband’s positive id confirmed. he dragged me out to see the harlequin ducks, but they were kinda far for me to see for sure.

he caught the eye of one police officer as he walked along the waterfront with his binoculars to see them the first time. then when he brought me back, I think we caused some walkers some concern as we drove slowly alongside them at constellation park, looking for the ducks before we decided to park. I wonder if any-one has ever called us in as suspicious. love the photo!

What a great shot of the Harlequin ducks. I sat and watched them from my car at Constellation park for the longest time on Monday late afternoon. It was a high tide and they were really close to the bulkhead – what a treat!
