Thursday morning the edgeland cur and I spotted this tree duck on a telephone pole across from the abandoned AT&T maintenance yard. You can always hear those birds before you see them, and then when you see them, they always seem bigger than you remember, bigger and gawkier, the kind of ducks that really get their goose on, which is maybe why they seem to adapt so well to cities.
Maypoles and telephone poles
