Heck, I hope I do though it I know won't be as good. We saw him the first year he came to the lake and haven't managed to, since. He's quite a handsome fellow. Wanted to get down there before Xmas but we both got that damned URI and it clobbered us. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm, I need practice with the new tripod. Maybe we can steal a day after NY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-30846849427555812812007-12-29T12:54:00.000-08:002007-12-29T12:54:00.000-08:00Love wigeons!

The kestrel who caught the common yellowhthroat must have been quite a hunter, considering how relatively small kestrels are!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-91053363163272614672007-12-29T12:37:00.000-08:002007-12-29T12:37:00.000-08:00Congrats from a fellow bird nerd!

They spend a few weeks in the wash behind our house before heading for their winter home. We also get egrets and herons and the occasional kingfisher. I'm a far better watcher than photographer, though, so I don't usually get good shots of them. I had the great misfortune last winter of watching, though my scope, a kestral land nearby with a bird in his talons. I was all excited until I saw that his lunch was one of my favorite warblers - a common yellowthroat. I'd only seen one of those the whole winter. Needless to say I didn't see ANY after that that.Sugarskullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283012090020950038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-80771562259866133512007-12-29T12:23:00.000-08:002007-12-29T12:23:00.000-08:00Isn't he a cutie!Isn't he a cutie!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-26850324829421542112007-12-29T12:18:00.000-08:002007-12-29T12:18:00.000-08:00that ruddy duck looks like hes smilin :)that ruddy duck looks like hes smilin :)bayena foulsbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212800038090890857noreply@blogger.com
