Catch up post.

Hey everybody!

Sorry for the lack of posting. Since I haven't posted for a while I decided to make a catch up post.

A mother mallard with her ducklings!

This red-winged blackbird does not like people. He always chirps and hovers right over your head when anybody walks over "the beaver bridge". I don't blame him. He has a nest right next to it! We heard the babies chirping yesterday.

A mallard nest in Greenway.

Look at the size of the goslings!

Another huge "gosling".

Yes! I got a picture of one of the male black-headed grosbeaks that have arrived!

We have also spotted a mother wood duck with 11 babies in Greenway park! She is very good at hiding. A good skill to have when there are so many predators around.

Have a great week! :-)

Waterfowl, shorebirds, swallows and blackbirds.

I just thought you might enjoy some evening wetland birds.

See Mr. mallard looking at us?

The first time I've been able to capture (a picture of course) a swallow perching!

A short-billed dowitcher.

Look at all that red on this blackbird!

And finally, wigeon.

Have a great week!

Just some park and yard photos.

The willow trees are starting to blossom!

That dot next to the tree is a red tailed hawk.

Okay, here are the pictures of the Red Winged Blackbirds that came to the yard on PFW Week 2!

Well, some more Blackbirds showed up today so I guess the wait for the ever elusive RW Blackbird is over!
