Hoodies and Herons

Not a bad day

I don’t always get out for walks on the weekend, but when the day turned out better than expected in the weather department, gave it a go…

Mixed Mergansers

There were a lot of ducks in the area, including 2 pairs of Hooded Merganser and several female Common Merganser.

The above picture was taken in the area a year or two ago, just added it here so you could get a better look at Hooded Merganser….in my estimation, the prettiest of the duck species.

Back to today, there were several Great Blue Heron in the area, including this guy perched on one of the pilings over by the log bay…

Here is a closer look at him….with one of the ever present Gulls in the background.

Numbers of Eagles were about average….noticed quite a few perched in trees up on the hillside to the west of the estuary.
