I did not go on many birdwatching outings in December.  It seemed like the month flew by, with both hubby and I being sick off and on. We both had the flu/stomach bug. I had a few episodes of vertigo. Hubby was out of commission for a few weeks having the Shingles on his face, even after having the Shingles vaccine. His eye was infected from the Shingles. We had multiple trips to the ER, a health clinic and his eye doctor. Finally he got the all clear the day before Christmas. For an added safety precaution we kept our distance from the family, especially the grandchildren. We met up with them the Saturday after Christmas. 

1. Dec 25th, we were surprised to see our neighborhood Peacock walking around our yard and on the deck.  I gave him some of the peanut suet nuggets and he quickly ate them all. 

2. Our neighborhood peacock came for a visit.

3. A little late but we enjoyed Christmas with the grandkids. It was a joyful time with the kiddies. 

4. Dec 27th, hubby and I were walking on the local fire road when I saw this Pileated Woodpecker fly and land on a nearby tree.

5. Dec 30, we rode past the Friendly Farms ponds on the way home. There were lots of Canada Geese and a group of male and female Bufflehead ducks. 

6. A view of the ponds, the ducks look way to small but you can see small bits of white which are the Buffleheads.

7. A larger image of the male Bufflehead with three females. 

Bonus: Yesterday our grandson turned 3 years old, Happy Birthday to Mason.
