Tuxedo duck. I like it! These ring-neck ed ducks have been hanging out for weeks. Today was the first time I saw females. The Rufous is a sure sign of spring ⚘ Really good to be out again. Hiking soon!
Thank you, Bailey ! There is a bushtit nest near where they nested last year. This is actually a shot of an adult. They are tiny little birds. I will keep my eyes peeled for babies in the coming weeks!
They are just the sweetest. I watched carefully for quite awhile and noticed both male and female building the nest. The female has yellow eyes, the male’s are ink black. I got one photo with both of them so I could verify that. So cool to watch.

The creepers are so cute! 😁
And they have a sweet song!
Wow! The rufous! And the tuxedo duck! Who needs words anyway? Nice to see you’re out and about.

Each of those pics is spectacular! What kind of babe is it?
