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.
It looked like you had a fabulous walk with all types of birds, Beth.
