It was too nice of a day to sit inside reading, so I headed out again for The Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately, birding didn’t match the spectacular weather as I didn’t see a single new species today. I first thought this was the first time I’d photographed a Green-Winged Teal but it turned out I’d already gotten a distant shot of one near Port Townsend.
I also got another picture of an American Bittern, a relatively rare bird I just can’t avoid running into lately:
I also got another picture of a Bald Eagle, though, they, too, are becoming as common as Great Blue Herons
My favorite shot of the day, though, was this vastly improved shot of a Male American Kestrel, possible because the lighting conditions were great today :
It’s supposed to rain most of the this week, though, so I should have time to read Rexroth’s books on Chinese and Japanese poetry.
Thank you for being the eyes for those of us locked in this beautiful day. The delta returns in late March as I pass it before 6 a.m.
Beautiful photos, as usual.
