This weekend you couldn’t have two much different days!
Saturday was a stunningly beautiful day!
The Trumpeter Swan family with 5 young were back and completely ignoring all the viewers
They actually swam over and then came ashore.
Sunny days are never the best for bird viewing but we did see
A few Varied Thrush eating the Pacific Crabapples
Also a few Song Sparrows
Sunday was a much different day, no more sunshine! Looked out the window and spotted something perched on the street light, thought maybe it was a little owl or hawk, but no, it was
This male Northern Flicker. They are often found on our street lights come spring as they like them for territorial drumming, but we are a long way from spring!
The chilly damp weather meant we, and the birds, had the place to ourselves,
Which meant rather than photographers, there were birds on the shore
Took a couple of quick shots from a distance and then left him in peace.
Had meant to go for another walk later but the weather just became too miserable. Must say the Anna’s Hummingbirds are sure enjoying the heated feeder these days.
