Female Bufflehead

I am pretty sure I saw the female companion to the male bufflehead who's been hanging out at our pond! I'm so excited! I doubt they'll nest, but don't you think it's a possibility? Wouldn't it be great to see little baby buffleheads floating along in the pond? The female is darker than the male. I suppose it looks like a miniature version of the mallard, at least based on the picture I saw. I'll have to take my camera back to the pond in hopes of getting a good photo.

Nothing else much going on that I can think of. Three-day weekends rule, I must say. The rest of the week is rough because I get up at 4:30 and work until 4:30, but the extra day off makes it worth it. I only feel sleep deprived 2-3 days per week.

Opening day for the Tigers and it was great to be able to watch the game on TV. Brandon Inge did pretty well and I was happy for him. Thomas gives me a hard time because I like him, but I tend to like the versatile players and Inge is versatile.

Nothing else that I can think of other than re-starting a diet or life-style change or whatever. I want to drop some weight and actually keep it off!

Later...

Take the camera! I'm off to work, so this is short. Kate had my cell phone the last few days - hers broke, so I'll get to that voicemail soon. Hope it's not horribly important!

No, just letting you know I saw the female bufflehead...at least I thought. I'm pretty sure it was. I've taken my camera the last 2 days and no sighting..........
