--Jul 19 2023The mud hen and the duck,
What an inscrutable pair!
In morning, admirals of the pond,
By night, retired to their lair.
Wildlife sanctuary pond, in St. Augustine Beach, Florida, USA. 2 July 2023.
PS. The duo's 'lair' (out-of-frame, to the right) is actually a pond bank protected by dense, low-hanging shrubs.
