Scattered deer corn into shallow water around the shore. Wood ducks and black belly whistling ducks both seem to enjoy the corn. I've seen both checking out the interiors of the duck boxes. We'll see if they have kids here this year. That'd be fun to watch.

Found two snake skins, one probably a yellow bellied water snake. The other definitely a banded water snake. Both are welcome.
