Gadwalls, Wood Ducks and Red Winged Blackbirds are numerous.<\/p>\n<p>I dropped Photoshop a month ago and switched to GIMP, the Open Source, free photo editing program. The cloud version of PS had slowed my system to a crawl and cost $10.00\/month. I&#8217;m including a few images created from the G&#8217;MIC (&#8220;Gimmick&#8221;) filter suite made for GIMP<\/p>\n<p>Wood Ducks abound, Ospreys have returned and people are reporting warblers, so all is well. A Great Horned Owl and a Screech Owl made an appearance as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46268\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
