Later: I got in a nice 2 hour hike and made it back to the RV just as it started to sprinkle. Good timing. Tomorrow I hope to hike a little farther down to the Lower Pool Park. I have a hunch one can get a view of the Demopolis Lake dam and lock from there.

Wood duck wonder

This afternoon, in a repeat of yesterdays observation, shortly after sundown, a pair of wood ducks paddled into the cove and just beyond my peninsula here at site 42 they dove, never to be seen again. Where did they go? How long can they stay submerged? Why did the swim all that way up the cove from the river when they could have flown. Doesn't it take more energy to paddle than to fly?
