Sunday Birds

I took a really bad shot of these ducks yesterday and was helped by David to identify them as Gadwall ducks. So, I went back to find them. They were not in the same pond, but they were in a pond a mile or so on down the road. This time I stopped and took my time.

Gadwall male.

Gadwall female.


I am also happy to report the bluebirds have found my bird feeder. This guy was patiently waiting his turn.

    1. I don't have mealworms, but I have 2 varieties. One is seeds the other is fruit and nuts. Thanks.

  4. Kudos to you for persistence and congratulations on the Bluebirds. I have bought live mealworms in the past but someone told me recently you can buy dried mealworms which are accepted by the birds. I have to check that out.
