I headed off to the Cosumnes River Preserve again and was able to walk the boardwalk route today; ankle is feeling much much better. They were having one of the “Ducks in Scopes” mornings, but no one had showed up, and the ducks were few, so the folks all packed up and headed out just as I arrived. I didn’t mind.

Pickings were so slim, though, that I only took about 200 photos instead of my standard 600-700.
Here are a few:
