As I do every day at this time of year I checked my favourite river this morning where I usually find my first duck species every spring. Last week it had been frozen over and today I found three pair of Hooded Mergansers there and a pair of Canada Geese. Wow! This was a very meaningful sighting for me!
Earlier this week on Monday, my husband and I determined to find some open water and some ducks. We thought we would find open water at a river car ferry crossing and we did! We found three duck species there: Mallards, Common Golden eye and Common Mergansers. Here are photos of some of the Mallards we found there.
I saw the white pigeon again last Saturday. |It looked healthy, like it wintered well. I haven't seen it again, but I have looked every day since. I want to get a better picture of it, as when I took this picture my camera was on a' photo illustration' setting and I think the setting takes away from the realism of it. I have been seeing this white pigeon for a year or more now. I worry that something might happen to it. It is a beautiful looking bird!
