We only see Wood Ducks once or twice each winter and never in the same location. One late afternoon a few weeks ago on a whim we turned into a park that crosses Clear Creek where we have never walked before. Upon arriving at the creek the first Ducks we spotted were this pair of wood ducks. Unfortunately they spotted us as well and moved quickly out of camera range but not before we got a few shots of them enjoying the nice golden light of a winters sunset. After a few shots they flew off into the sunset leaving us with just a glimpse at these beautiful birds. Yet sometimes just a glimpse is good enough.

We sat and watched as a large group of Cedar Waxwings moved in and polished of bush after bush of these dark berries in one of our local birding haunts. With just one berry left remaining on this bush this bird pull off a berry and has it just on the tip of their tongue.
