Three things I saw…

…And didn’t have my camera for.
I believe it was this Tuesday, when I saw them.
It was raining pretty hard, so that’s why I didn’t bring my camera when I went down for my second outside time at the park.
On the way there, I saw a Sea Otter in the harbor, fairly close in as well. I didn’t regret bringing my camera too much then, but later I saw a Mink on the rocks by the river, on my side. I don’t know if I would’ve been able to get a photo, considering the fact that it was moving, but I still kinda wished I had brought my camera.
And then, I saw an odd looking bird in with the mallards.
It looked about their size, but it was whiter, sort of cream colored with a caramel-ish colored head. It was across the river from me, and it was raining and late, so the lighting wasn’t all that great. Either way, I could tell that it wasn’t normal, so I ran most of the way back, just in case it wasn’t a cross-bred mallard.
I took a different route than normal by going on the bike path on Sawmill Creek road, just in case Connor had left already. He hadn’t. But he did go to look for the bird and took my bike (I let him) so we were late to our paper route and mom’s. He didn’t find the bird then, though a few days later, Dad and I went past the lake and saw that it was just an odd mallard.
