..........Greater Scaup

..........Tufted Duck

..........American Wigeon

..........Eurasian Wigeon

..........Green-Winged Teal (looks like a female pintail or mallard but is much smaller)

..........American Crow

Not sure if this is the Mom or the Dad. Dad has a green band on ome of his legs. Can't tell from this shot. This is one of the parents at J Heinz NWR near the Philadelphia airport. They hatched one young that seems to be thriving nicely. I'll see if I can get a shot of the youngster sometime this month.

Tough day for photography with snow falling, snow on the ground and bright overcast sky. But, the birds didn't seem to mind.

Uncommon and very irregular. Not a great photo. Sorry. Shooting in the deep shade of predawn. I only see these guys about once a month, so I'll submit this photo to the side-challenge now.

I'm not able to get to shoot much during the week so will post a bunch up this weekend. In the meantime, this is my friend Stubby Foot. You see that on his right leg, he has no claws. He comes to visit me a couple times each day on my balcony. He was just here.

On Wednesday I went out on my lunch hour to The Upper Canada Bird Sanctuary hoping to find some birds to photograph. I think they knew I was coming and they were camera shy! I saw numerous deer - even one that wanted to follow me- and a porcupine up in a tree but no birds! Not even the rare Canada Goose!!LOL

Later that evening I went to the Iroquois locks and hiked there, got caught in a hail storm but did manage to see the four birds above!

....Brown Creeper, Certhia americana

Only one new bird species today. It was highly ironic, as I spent the morning leading a RMNP bird walk. On the walk, we saw about 20 species. I'll go back tomorrow.
