I Think I'll Stay Awhile

It seems the exotic shelduck likes White Rock lake and plans to stay awhile. My second week to see it was mid September. It was a good distance from me and about to sail into the hidden water behind the rushes. Maybe it will stay all winter. Who can blame it with all that beauty surrounding it.
