Snow goose

On the lawn outside of Walmart, along a somewhat busy street, a flock of Canada geese raised their young and made their meals. In the spring I saw the goslings debut, and watched them get a little bigger everyday. Sometimes they even held up traffic as they crossed from one green patch to another. 

When I drove by the other day I saw a grey goose with the flock and I wondered if he had always been with them, or if he was only passing through. I went back today and he was there alone. After some researching, I realized he may be a young snow goose. Born in the Arctic tundra, heading south for the winter. 


Partial Albino?

It's a rainy fall day and our yard is busy with birds. I noticed a robin with some white feathers on him, and I think he might be a partial albino...

Double Date

Two pairs of red-winged blackbirds stopped by this morning.
