When looking for wildlife, it can be a difficult call whether to stay in the same spot for a while or to move around and see what you can find. It often comes down to my mood and my instinct, particularly at a place like Ridgefield that I’ve visited many times. On this morning, I was reflective and content, so when I saw a bald eagle perched in the distance, I stopped and watched for about an hour just to see what might happen. I’m thankful that I did as this teal and his mate eventually came into view and then swam up near me to feed. The following morning, however, I was quite restless and spent most of the time on the move.
