109 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 109 days away.

Today's Picture:

Taken on February 26, 2015

Gadwalls (Anas strepera) are not seen very often. I recently identified one on the creek for the second time. There might have been another in the park. One was seen in the pond by the Central Meadow. Bird counts are supposed to be conservative. I can't be sure that the two sightings were of different Gadwalls.
