Playing near the Blynman Bridge

On Thursday afternoon the bridge was up for a large sailboat.  Looked over and noticed lots of ducks about to play in the current.

Walking Stacy Boulevard

This Autumn has been so delightful except for the dry conditions.  The ducks love to play under the cut bridge.

Late afternoon on Saturday

Late Saturday afternoon the clouds over the beach were beautiful.  It got a little foggy with winds.  Great afternoon.  Also, the ducks and ducklings swimming are adorable.

Ducklings learning to swim

How cute are these little ducklings.  It was foggy and drizzling, but these ducks were having fun.

Love the ducks under the Blynman Bridge

They are all going in the same direction.  Must be good food under the ocean.

Love watching the ducks play in the current under the bridge. When swimming towards the Annisquam and then ride the current into Gloucester Harbor.

These cuties are always crossing the street

These ducks are so cute, they are always crossing the street near Clark Pond.  All the drivers are very patient with them.

So many great birds, turtles and wildlife over at this peaceful pond.
