Even on cloudy days
Always looking wonderful and always on the prowl even on a quiet cloudy afternoon. Great Blue Heron working a Lagoon off the Pacific Ocean.
Their myriad of colors is alway amazing but what always stuns me are those fully feathered big beefy legs.
Big trees and tiny birds
Up and down and up and down. These little birds never cease to amazing me with their constant motion and why do these little birds always choose such big trees?
Dark Eyed Junco
One of our favorite winter visitors are the dark eyed Juncos. They always bring a bit of color to a cold snowy afternoon.
Thirsty
Maybe a common sight, but every drink is different.
The way the water droplets fall from the bill of this wonderful female Mallard brings endless possibilities for observation.
Little Goldeneye

Showing Off

Unfortunetly, the lady of his desires seemed to be showing little interest in his display.

American Widegon
A female American Widegon enjoys the last of the late fall weather. In an area usually teaming with water fowl she was one of the only ducks left on the lake just hanging out quietly in a sheltered cove.

Everyday Blessings
Most of the time we find Spotted Towhees in the underbrush kicking about foraging for a meal and that is just where I found this heard this guy as well. The problems is that when they are kicking about in the undergrowth they are easily heard but seldom seen. Luckily this guy flew up into the branches of a shrub with just enough of an opening to snap a quick photo and get a good look of that brilliantly colored red eye.
A nice way to start the new year indeed.
May your 2018 be filled with wonder, joy and everyday blessings.
Blue, Green and Yellow
Mallard. There are many but none are common.
