Ducks on the Saint Croix River

There were a few ducks on the open water in Hudson, Wisconsin.

My wife and I spent over an hour watching the Trumpeter Swans gathered in a small batch of open water in Hudson, Wisconsin. Mostly they were just swimming around honking but several time an altercation broke out and there were some exciting fights.

After leaving Willow River State Park we headed over to the Saint Croix River to see if there were any Trumpeter Swans overwintering. The Saint Croix was frozen and there were quite a few swans around. It was another grey and overcast day so the photography was not all that great.

While we were there we met another photographer and his friend. His friend happened to be a Mallard Hen. He had been photographing for quite a while and the Mallard followed him everywhere.
