Just love it, Will!In Michigan we are surrounded by the Great Lakes. These lakes hold one fifth of the entire world's fresh water. In addition, we have thousands of inland lakes, rivers and streams. The same can be said of our bordering states and Canada. Given the incredible amount of options available for paddling, sleeping, drinking if you were a duck, why do you suppose this duck decided to call the bird bath in the back yard, HOME ?...

Will, there are brave ducks and skittish ducks.Thank you!
I managed to get a pair this morning on my way home from work. There are about a dozen or so hanging out in the area. They aren't as brave as mallards, they are a little skittish. This is a male and female Gadwall, in this shot the female is flapping her wings...

Maybe a female brewer’s blackbird? It’s the only one I could come across that seemed to match, but I’m no birder (I just like them).View attachment 384021
This guy popped in last night. My first thought was sparrow, but It is a little bigger than a sparrow and it has a little different coloring than sparrows I've seen. So this one is up for bids. Any ideas?
