My two sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed a reunion in the Williamsburg area of Virginia.
We stayed in a beautiful setting with resident wildlife, this male mallard duck, or drake, is one of a number living there.
Close enough, go away now.
Female mallard or hen.
This hen flew straight at me while I was taking pictures of the family of resident geese. She had apparently had enough of the drakes and the geese.

The Jamestown Settlement Museum, which has Exhibition Galleries, and replicas of the James Fort, a Powhatan Indian Village and the 3 ships that sailed to Virginia in 1607.

The Village is based on archaeological findings at a site once inhabited by Paspahegh Indians, the Powhatan tribal group closest to Jamestown, and descriptions recorded by English colonists.
Historical interpreters discuss and demonstrate the Powhatan way of life.
The interpreters grow and prepare food, process animal hides, make tools and pottery, and weave natural fibers into cordage.

The largest ship, the Susan Constant.
The Godspeed and Discovery.
The Discovery, the smallest ship.
On board the Discovery, he is a retired pilot from a major airline, and having a wonderful time being an interpreter.

These birds had full run of the area and were fearless.
