In a little eddy on the muddy banks of Clear Creek a Green Winged Teal couple spent the morning feeding while we looked on from a distance. This week the waterfowl have returned in large numbers and we are thankful for that.

Score
Finding food sure can be hard work. Which reminds it’s time to put out the feeder for these guys as winter is heading our way.
We were watching this Sparrow search intently through the gravel and forest debris and score with what appears to be a tasty little seed.
A bite well earned.

Red Tailed on a grey day
We seemed to have settled into a very late fall like weather pattern as of late with sunshine appearing mid-morning then giving way to cloudy afternoon skies. We spotted this good looking Red Tailed Hawk on one of those cloudy afternoons perched on the remnants of a very fall looking tree.

A female Mallard settled down for a late afternoon siesta. As the days get shorter and shorter a nice little midweek siesta seems in order.
