More Water Birds! :0)

Whoohoo! Went to the river for a little bit today, looking for the Killdeers. I found them and then noticed some ducks across the river so I took a few pictures. I can't tell what they are because there are 2 ducks that look almost exactly the same! These are either a pair of Lesser Scaups or a pair of Greater Scaups...

The Woods!

I was very excited to find a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers in the woods near my house! The male is on the left, and the female on the right. The other guy is called a Brown Creeper. I found him (or her) when I went to visit the Ducks Unlimited site in Boucherville with Kelly.

Water Birds!

I found these in the woods! They keep getting away from me so these pictures are a little fuzzy...I'll try to get better ones! They are called Wood Ducks, male on the left and female on the right.

Water Birds!

These were at the river but far away, near the small islands. The pictures aren't very clear but they were good enough to identify the first pair(top left) as Gadwalls and the second pair(right) as Common Mergansers. The third picture is of a Northern Shoveler, flying away from me when I got out to take a picture...it really is a Northern Shoveler! I watched it with my binoculars before trying to get a picture! :0)

Water birds!

I've been hanging out near the river and in the woods where there is a lot of water right now. Here are the Canada Geese that fly over my house by the thousands every year...every day in the spring actually!!!
