Robert writes, "Here our vacationing party is doing a little light "scrambling" to reach a scenic lookout point, to the left of the picture. Since geographically the Northern rim is around 60 plus miles from Kanab, Utah, (nearest town where visitors to the Canyon stay overnight) it might account for it being visited less than the other parks of the Grand Canyon.

Birds of Kentucky: Blue Winged Teal ducks
2022-03-31 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen
A small flock of Blue Winged Teal ducks stopped off at Lake Shelby this week. All About Birds says of them, "Pairs and small groups dabble and up-end to reach submerged vegetation. You'll often find Blue-winged Teal with other species of dabbling ducks. They are often around the edges of ponds under vegetation, choosing a concealed spot to forage or rest." Comments | Permalink
