Northern Shoveler

It doesn’t shovel snow up North

Down South ducks winter

Monday morning scene

Magical and misty dance

Looks like the Northwest

It rained overnight. The weather conditions created mist and fog in the morning. This is an infrequent occurrence for my dry area. The scene reminded me of the Pacific NW. All photos taken from my house

All Evening Grosbeaks

Guess how many in my yard?

Counted fifty-six.

I counted 56 in the photo, but there were a few more outside of the image as well.

Here’s a Roadrunner
Seen first time in my county
These photos from Bosque

A Greater Roadrunner (GRRO) was reported seen in my county for the first time on Thanksgiving Day. It took multiple visits to the area, but it has now been seen by me and two other birders.  Unfortunately, no photos yet. It is impossible to see once it crosses the road and disappears into the dense vegetation. These photos were taken in Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico.
