Reflecting Mallard

I took a few photos of a couple of Malards in the Miami River earlier this week. Sadly, the photos were out of focus and looked really bad. A couple days later We saw this one in a pond at Big Woods. This time, I captured a much better photo.

Hiding In The Trees

When I shot this photograph I thought I saw a aparrow. When I got home, I discovered it was a Carolina Wren. She was not easy to see or photograph. Love this bird.

Mr Ugly Is Back

If you have followed me here for long, you know I have often refered to Turkey Vultures as 'Mr. Ugly'. I guess I don't really dislike them, but I did find them ugly. The Black Vultures are not any more attractive. They are graceful flyers, but just not good looking.

This is the second one we have seen in the past week. Spring is right around the corner. I know there are going to be baby eagles in several nest near us any day now. I expect to see Red-winged blackbirds sometime in the next 3 weeks or so. I saw a Carolina Wren this week too. This wren does not migrate, but we rarely see them around here during the winter months.

Bring on spring!
