Wednesday's Walk

My sister and I took a walk at Delta Ponds . 

This time of year there are lots of Canada Geese.

I've gone back and forth with this bird: Ruby-crowned Kinglet or Cassin's Vireo.
Based on the size and the white/black/white wing bars I'm voting for Cassin's Vireo.

Small flock of Mallards

Female Double-crested Cormorant

Male Ring-necked Ducks 

Males!  Watching a female...

American Coots

They eat lots of pond plants.

Can't see the wing bars, but the eye ring again leads me to say Cassin's Vireo.

And here I'm going with Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Wing bar indicative of a kinglet.

Male Mallard

Black-capped Chickadee.

The bird is out of focus, but I like the structure of the willow thicket.
