A cheerful set. One of them is a wood duck I believe. Somewhat rare in
these parts.
My "Birds of Michigan" book says they are year round in Michigan and common.
I had a pair try to nest in a tree in my backyard a few years ago - only saw
them for a day so I guess they didn't like the accomodations. Very strange
to see ducks in a tree!

Thanks Paul.
The last in the series is the Wood Duck. I've only seen the one this
spring, that one afternoon. I think I spotted his mate flying past the
next morning but didn't get a good enough look for a certain
identification. I hear reports that we have had nesting pairs in the
immediate vicinity, but our small river doesn't seem to be attractive to
them.

Those are some wonderful photos, Stan! That first one looks a bit like a
grebe but it is certainly not a red necked grebe like we have around
these parts. What is it?
Like all the images a lot!
cheers,
frank

I've been sidetracked from finishing up my Caribbean photos by some
lovely birds arriving from the south. Here are three of the more
colorful . . .
