On 23 September 2021, I finally visited Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. I so rarely get over to this beautiful location. However, I knew that the fall colours would be near their prime, so it was time to make the half-hour drive.
My main motivation was the fall colour, but I also hoped to see a Wood Duck or two. When I first arrived, there were quite a lot of them to be seen, but mainly the far side of the lagoon. Three or four were resting on a popular large piece of driftwood, but the light was not good and large branches were in the way. Managed to get one or two rather poor shots, but it was good to see these very attractive ducks. A short while later, most of the Wood Ducks had disappeared.
My first sighting was a Double-crested Cormorant standing on a tiny 'island' in the lagoon. I hadn't seen one this close this year. Another enjoyed sighting was watching a White-tailed doe and her young one. The old, red brick Colonel Walker House always adds a splash of bright colour to any photo, too.
