We spotted these eggs camouflaged amongst the rock on a small island in a local pond with no goose in sight. Were they abandoned? Only time will tell.

Yellow Headed Blackbird
This gal was perched high on a cattail checking out the males who were singing their hearts out for a mate. Nothing like hearing a chorus of yellow headed blackbirds singing away to let you know that spring is here.
Ibises
A group of white faced Ibises make a one night stand at the local pond. We only run across these guys once in a blue moon so it was indeed a pleasure to observe these guys feeding and refueling prior to take off for wetter lands further to the north.
Busted
The looks says it all. This Jay had his back to me so I was trying to sneak up on him and focus on his very colorful tail feathers. Needless to say he was on to me.
Strolling Along
Female mallards out for a morning stroll. I wonder what they are talking about. Photographed on fine summers day while kayaking on Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park.

Amore?
We watched as a pair of swallows hesitantly landed close to each other on a branch. Within a minute or two they seemed to get comfortable and began to check each other out so to speak. When the female decided she had seen enough she took to the air and the male appeared to try and follow with all his might. Unfortunately, both swallows quickly disappeared into a large flock which was feeding on insects at the pond and we soon lost track of them. I guess we will never know how this relationship ended.

Splash of Color
Adding some color, as well as a wonderful song, to a landscape slowly transitioning from winter to spring. We saw our first finches arrive just the other day.
