Spring is Coming

Look at my first crocus.  With the warm temperature, it just came out.  Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is Feb 17 this year.

"Spring is coming per the lunar calender.  No wonder it is getting warm.

I still need to nibble the suet to warm up."☺️🐦‍⬛

"I am happy to know it is getting warm for sure.  

I like the suet here."😋👍

Sunny Flight

 On a sunny day,  many birds like to dry out their feathers.

"I am in the sun, drying the feathers and finding a fish."🌞🪽

"Moving to another fishing site."😉👍

"Look at my beautiful flight.  I will dry my feather at the same time."🤩

Backyard Friends

 Lately, it has been sunny and cold.❄️🥶

Oregon Junco:  "I like the cold weather."🤗

Yellow-rumped Warbler:  "When I can not find a bug 

in the field, I always show up here for the suet."☺️

Chestnut-backed Chickadee :  "Me, too.  I like your suet."👍

A Runner

 The weather is nice for a week at the wetlands. I saw a male Hooded Merganser.

"I got bored floating in the water."

"I am running."

"Ready to take off."

Bufflehead's Take-off

On a cold day at the wetlands, two Buffleheads were  swimming around.

"The sun came out a little."🌤️

"I am ready to run."🪿

"Watch my take-off.  Ta, ta, ta..."☺️

More waterfowl

 After a week of rain and the flood at some areas, we revisited the wetlands.

"We are back.   Today is nice." Gadwall🤗🌞

"Hello.  we are a small family and staying here again."  Tundra Swan."🦢🦢🦢

"We are Northern Pintails. "👍

Happy Holidays

It's been rainy.  But on Christmas Day🎄,  we had a little blue sky.
