I’ll have to admit that I found our last birding trip to Theler Wetlands a bit disappointing, though in retrospect, after three days of being confined to the house because of hazardous smoke conditions, it appears to have been a delightful day.
It began with a quick sighting of an American Goldfinch
another sighting of a male Red Crossbill,
a juvenile Marsh Wren indulging in an extended dust bath,
a Cedar Waxwing,
and, best of all, because it’s seen least often, a Spotted Sandpiper apparently walking on water.
