Easy Birding - February 3, 2012

Yesterday we had some errands to run so we decided to visit a city park to look for ducks.  This was the easiest birding we've ever done.  There were ring-necked ducks. wigeons, canvasbacks, and redheads among the group.  But the most amazing part was that they have obviously gotten used to being fed by visitors, because they practically followed us around.  Taking photos of them was a cinch.

 

There were also lots of turtles there, which looked exactly like the pet turtle I had as a kid, only these guys were the size of soccer balls. 

 

The weather has cooled off a bit, in the 60s, but still nice and sunny.
