Here are some of this week's sightings for this #featheredfriday
Red-winged blackbirds are easy targets. They are always posturing and will often attack you to get out of their territory.
They are quite noisy so its easy to locate them. Basically around any wetland they will be hanging around.
You can easily get close to them and they won't fly away.
I often resort to taking photos of these guys when other birds aren't around.
The female red-wings are easy to find too but they often are hiding out in the reeds out of sight.
A coot is a bit of a rare sight around the lake that I walk around almost every day. It must be visiting or passing through to warmer areas.
Finally a rare sight indeed. A loon!
I was only able to get a couple shots before it dove under and disappeared far on the opposite side of the lake. I wish these guys would hang out here more often but our lake is a bit too small for their preferences.
As usual the house sparrows are always around.
As the sun was setting I found this guy in the crevice of a large poplar tree.
The only action shot I got was this seagull eating a bluegill. I'm surprised it wasn't just raiding the trash can for chips.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
