Big Birds at the Wetlands

 All the colorful little summer birds have left for south.  But big birds are still here at the wetlands.👍

 

 #1:  Great Blue Heron

"I am still here."😄

#2:  Great Egret

"I am still here for a while."😄

#3:  American White Pelican

"I am passing by today.  I have to meet 

my buddies at the Wildlife Refuge nearby."☺️

Note:  Many waterfowls will arrive soon for winter months.🤩

Welcoming the Return

 The weather is changing at the wetlands.

Red-tailed Hawk:  "I am back."

Golden-crowned Sparrow:  "I am back,too."

 

White-crowned Sparrow:  "I am also back from the coast area."

Fall at the Wetlands

 Summer birds are gone and winter birds are to arrive here gradually. 

"We are Mallards and stay here all the year around."😉

"I am Pie-billed Grebe.  I stay here all the time, too."☺️

"We are American White Pelicans.  We

 left Canada and are on the way to Mexico."😄👍

Regular Resident in My Backyard

 In the beginning of autumn, I noticed a family of Oregon Junco in my backyard.

"I am still busy raising my kids."😊🌻

"I am a good dad."😉🤩

"Sometimes I take a rest up on a branch."😄👍
