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.

    Beautiful bluebird! Do you put mealworms in the feeder?

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

    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.

    I do like Gadwall - but I have never seen a Bluebird - one day maybe!

    The bluebird is very sweet! And I always love seeing the variations of the feathers on ducks! Great photos!

    The Gadwalls have such an understated and refined beauty. I miss thee bluebirds here in south Florida.
