Redheads

Linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes

For this weeks wild bird I am sharing two ducks, both with redheads. ..The Redhead duck actually named Redhead and the Canvasback duck.

My mosaic above shows the Redhead duck on the left (far left) and the Canvasback duck on the right..

The Redhead ducks above are a diving duck, they have the red head, black breast, grayish sides, a bluish bill with a black tip and has yellow eyes..The Redhead photo above was taken at Loch Raven Resevoir in Baltimore County, Maryland.

A closer look at the Canvasback with their redheads, red eyes, bright white sides and a black breast. The Canvasback ducks photos were taken a few weeks ago at Cambridge Maryland..

A variety of ducks includes the Canvasback, American Wigeon and Scaup.

I hope you enjoyed my wild bird post.. Till next week's wild bird post.. I wish you happy Birding and have a wonderful week!

A Variety show

I am linking up with Camera Critters and I'd-rather-b-birdin

Happy March!!!

Wow, the first Saturday of March already, the days are flying by. Spring will be here with my flowers popping out of the ground. YEA!!! For my critter post, I have a few ducks, geese, goats, chipmunk, cardinal and a bluejay. I would say a real variety of birds and critters.

 Hubby and I made a quick stop at one of the local reservoirs to see what kind of ducks were around. We did see some ducks and lots of Canada Geese but there were some other critters that surprised me.

I was not expecting to see goats with the geese along with a couple of Ring-necked ducks and a American Wigeon.

The goats were behind a fence, but this guy came up to visit with me.


 Do you remember the old variety/comedy shows on TV?  I am old enough to remember the Ed Sullivan show ( my first glimpse of the Beatles) , Smothers Brothers, Carol Burnett, Sonny & Cher show and what about the funny Laugh-in comedy show. I miss these variety/comedy shows. Now, I am watching a lot of crime/drama or I watching the show in my backyard.

 I am not sure if I have a Redhead above or if it is a Canvasback? I am thinking a Redhead because the Canvasback has a darker beak. It is my first sighting of a Redhead this year.

The variety show continues in my yard.....above a Cardinal with a chipmunk.

Can you find the chipmunk with a Bluejay?  I have been spreading birdseed around the yard. I am using one of the tree stumps that my darling hubby was nice enough to roll  around to various spots in the yard. I am sure these stumps were heavy to move.

I hope you enjoyed my variety show post and critters. Thank you for visiting my post and blog. I also appreciate the comments.
