A Rare Visitor

Several years ago,  I scared this bird and since then it did not returned till last year.  And this spring it made more visits.

"I can come close to the patio ."

"When I get scared, I can hide in the blueberry bush."

"I like a bath."

"It's fun to dance on the water."

Early Morning at the Wetland

From the nearby wetland:

Three Great Egrets in the early morning.

 I could not find this goose in my bird book.  This may be a Greater White-fronted Goose, but of an albino type

"You don't need to identify me.  I am just a handsome guy."

"Just look at my fancy wings."

A Summer Bird

An Orange-crowned Warbler, a summer bird, arrived here the other day.  First it was eating some bugs around the new leaves.

Then, around the bushes.

On a sunny day, it is best to get cleaned.

"After the bug meal, I like taking the bath here."

Rufous Female

After the male Rufous arrival, I was waiting for a female.  Here it is.  She has the rufous colored sides.  A few of them stay around here during the summer months.  

"I remember this clothesline.  I always perch on it."

"This is my favorite feeder.  Wow,  it's
fresh.    I just had a long distance
flight, so it is appreciated."
