Bonkers About Honkers

Well ladies and gentlemen, the waterfowl parade is now in full swing.

We have been entertained by pairs of hooded merganzers. Magnificent birds.

And common merganzers, which are anything but uncommon. I love watching the babies walk on water when Mom and Dad first take them out for a swim.

And this morning, a whole clutch of Canada geese settled in for a swim and some obvious mating rituals (No, you get away! She's mine!) near our island where I managed to get a picture of about half of the flock.

Should be hearing the "Scree!" of redwing blackbirds any time now.

We are in the final astronomical hours of winter!

And a Happy St. Pat's to everyone. Crank up your Gaelic Storm! (My favorite Celtic music group.)
