Visiting shore birds from maybe...Canada?
There was a flock of Forster's Terns on Saturday.
The Black-necked Stilts gave us quite the aerial show.
Spotted sandpiper.
Pie-billed Grebes that eat goldfish bigger than their heads!
I had NO idea this was a thing. Grebes eating goldfish. And running away on the water when they didn't want to share. I thought only Coots ran on the water. Swallowing the fish...gag.
Osprey! There were as many as FOUR hunting at one time...
That is NOT a goldfish...
Sunflowers and Helicopters
Canada Geese
Regular geese...
and a quad-winged goose!
Songbirds
Catching the little birds in flight is quite challenging. Their shapes and wing spreads are pretty cool though.
The rest...
Ruddy Duck
Killdeer
A Great blue Heron, apparently in serious molting mode...
Blue-eyed Darner, or...a dragonfly.
Until next time!

Wow!! What amazing photography! Plus they tell a story. Thank for sharing! You are the best!
Spectacular shots! Love these! Thank you for sharing!
I’m loving all the birds! The Grebes and their goldfish— I had no idea! Also the black-necked stilts! Just wonderful! Thanks as always for making my day!
Outstanding photos, amazing captures with all especially the Grebes and Osprey. Compositions really wonderful!
It’s so cool to see the birds up close. I can’t believe you caught some of these events with your camera. I’m thinking you must spend and a lot quite time watching and waiting. Amazing
