A few of the wintering ducks at Possum Branch Preserve, a lesser scaup and a horned grebe. They were both far out in the channel that runs along the preserve.
A moorhen posing on a tree branch in the pond. Seems a little dangerous standing up there with all of the hawks and eagles that could come by.
The robins were still hanging around in early February. They were picking off the few remaining mulberries left on the tree.
At least two sora rails were spending the winter in the pond.
This is the 2nd winter I’ve seen a Virginia rail here. He’s pretty skittish and rarely comes out from the reeds. After standing there for a while, he finally came out for a few minutes before running back into hiding. He’s much prettier than the sora rail.
Nice sighting. It is always great to see a Sora or a Rail. Love the Robin images. Great post. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day! Happy Weekend!
The Grebe looks very smart, and you go some great images of the Robin,
Great series. I really like the images of Robin.
