Ducks at Bothell Landing taken February 10th.
Red Winged Blackbird at Juanita Bay Park in Kirkland, Washington.
I believe this is a Wood Duck. We spotted it on Juanita Bay February 11th.
This last photo is from northeastern Washington. A couple of these Grouse would come to this tree outside our son and daughter in law’s in the low light of evening and early morning. They were really enjoying the buds on the tree. It was hard to get a great shot from the window. This was taken on Tuesday morning February 28th.
Linking to Saturday’s Critters at Viewing Nature with Eileen.
We have been on a slow return to whatever might be called normal at this old house. We need to get out and have a good walk again soon. We arrived home from Eastern Washington on Wednesday. We are observing Lent which began on Wednesday. Our weekend should be relatively quiet. Hope your March is starting well.

Wonderful critters. Blogland is great you get to see so many different things :). B x
Those spots of blue on the wood duck are so vibrant! Beautiful!
Beautiful colors on the ducks. With the pollen count so high, we have limited our time outdoors. Happy Saturday.
Adorable ducks especially the wood duck and the red winged blackbird is so pretty!
Enjoy your weekend!
That first photo is so charming with the row of houses across the pond…The ducks are pretty, too! Are buds a renewable resource? 🙄
The grouse is a very creative capture ~ other critters are lovely too ~ even in the mud ~ thanks,
Wishing you a Happy Weekend ~ ^_^
…Red Winged Black Birds are a favorite of mine.
The mallards have such pretty colors and I love the red winged black bird. I’ve seen them around the town pond here but haven’t been able to get a picture lately. They keep flying off.
Hello Ellen, love your variety of birds. The Redwing is beautiful. I like the cool Grouse and the pretty Mallards and Wood Duck. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day and the weekend!
Nice pics. Beautiful Mallards. I have been seeing the Red winged blackbirds in my trees lately.
I love to watch the ducks -they are always entertaining!
Particularly love your redwing blackbird!
I enjoyed your pictures of the ducks, as well as the red-winged blackbird and the grouse. The red on the red-winged blackbird really shows up against the brown background. My dad always enjoyed watching the grouse.
Have a lovely weekend. We, too, are observing Lent.
So pretty! The birds sure perk up the brown, winter background.
Those pictures are amazing Ellen! Love the first one with the contrast of the bright green mallard drakes and the orange ducky feet to the subdued background colours – just beautiful! That wood duck has the most interesting colours too. Wow!
The wood duck has such pretty colours. I always enjoy listening to the red-winged blackbirds singing their melodies. Hope you settle in again soon!
