I caught this dove napping on a very cold morning.
He woke up and said, Oops, how embarrassing!
Meanwhile down on the creek a great blue struts his stuff.
A great egret flies in......
.......and settles in to absorb some sunshine.
The hooded mergansers are on the creek every morning, but will be moving north this week. The big duck migrations from here start on the first full moon in February, which is tomorrow. The hoodies are so skittish and so fast. I keep trying to get some decent shots of them, but none are very good. Here's the latest batch of three males, two mature and one immature that dropped by. So long till next year guys!
This shows how far away they really are. I need a bigger lens.

I love the Mergansers! We have them in our pond. I'm so glad they'll be heading up North. Now if we just could get some more thawing!
ReplyDeleteLove your Heron shots. Talk about skittish. I never get very good pictures of them, and they always see me first.

Great mergansers! Now that I know you are posting every day again, I will stay caught up!
