The wind was howling yesterday afternoon at Huntley Meadows Park, making the water really choppy and threatening to blow me off of the boardwalk. A solo American Coot (Fulica americana) was one of the few birds that attempted to navigate its way among the waves—it looked almost like a scene at the ocean’s shore.

Ducks in the wind, all we are is ducks in the wind.

Those are rough waters.
Indeed. I think the wind was blowing about 30-40 miles and hour with gusts sometimes even stronger than that.
We saw some ducks last week the were sitting still but their feet were flying under the water.
