If the day before was a gull day....then yesterday was a 'goose' day
there were large flocks of mixed Canada Geese and the smaller Cackling Geese everywhere!
both flying about and in the fields....
the Gulls were busy in the field beside the dyke....
although yesterday they were joined by some Hooded Merganser,
and today, there were some Green-wing Teal......
along with quite a few Mallard
perhaps the most interesting sight yesterday was...
seeing American Coot in this flooded yard.
I think I've mentioned that we don't see Coots in the area all that often anymore, although this year we've had them up in estuary, on Harrison Bay and now in a flooded front yard!
today was just one of those really misty days....not really raining, but not exactly dry either, like walking in a cloud.
it was actually quite busy, bird wise...saw 3 Downy Woodpeckers, like this little guy, and a larger Hairy Woodpecker. There were lots of Chickadees and Ruby-crowned Kinglets but it was just too dark to get decent photos of such active little guys.
We'll end off with this guys....perched in the morning mist.
