All in a day's work: Catbird, Bitterns, Mallard Family and other things

Catbird and Breakfast orange.

Actually there are a pair that spends the day gorging on the offerings,  until nothing left but the rind.


Mister Bittern

Missus Bittern. Or maybe not. Maybe just a good friend? Maybe an rival engaged in a chase?  But 2 of them in tandem anyway.

Morning stretch







  Next up: Newly hatched Mallard ducklings being introduced to the world







Mother stands guard while new family tests the water.


Then she moves forward and calls the bunch to her.


Up they come


All accounted for.

And Off We Go

Is that a satisfied smile on her face or not?

Nine altogether




A pair of Otters nearby







Bohemian Waxwings



Wood Peewee






Female Goldeneye
