Decorated and Lost Duck

As you can see, the house is decorated and the color this year is, Red and White. For the last several years, Kim and I have change, the color we use for decorating the house. Last year was White and the year before was Red. So it was easy to do have a Red and White Christmas this year. The month of December, I will post photos of the house, for everyone to see.
Now for the lost Duck. Driving around lake Calhoun, on Sunday I spotted something that just didn't look like your everyday Mallard. If you look in the photo of the lake, in the center about 3/4 of the way up, you will see what I found. This lost duck, if a female, Long Tail Duck. So what's the big deal. It's not, if we lived on the on the mid atlantic cost. Some how, she made here way to Minnesota. The Long Tail Duck, spend the summer in the Artic Circle and then heads for the Mid Atlantic cost, to spend the winter. I guess, she wanted to get away from the family for the winter. Must be a teenager.
