Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge has several miles for Autos to drive through. Geese of course have the Right of Way!

My son, Dustin looking through the scope at these Dunlins at Metzger Marsh in North Central Ohio! There were over 150 in this group (not all in photograph due to cropping).
Canadian Geese on the swamp. Note the Trumpeter Swan in the gap in the shrubs.
I stood in amazement in our Kitchen last evening, and gazed to the West! Wow, I saw the sunset. I think it may be the first time, I saw a sunset from within our house. There are houses west of us, and a good part of the town. Somehow with the change of seasons, the sunset was lined up, so I could see it from the kitchen, looking through the dining room window. Included in the photo would be the iconic town clock of the town square, and a rickshaw, an iconic figure of Bangladesh, where we spent 8.5 years of our lives. I suspect that last sentence, was a “run-on sentence!”
The second delight was to see two Carolina Wrens at our window feeder at the same time. This photo was taken on our clothes line pole, at some other time.
This is a view of our window feeder, with a house finch peeking around the side, to get a better view of the photographer!
Carved in December 1986 for Dixie/John!
I found these in Bradenton Florida!
Not sure why I am posting this on Groundhog Day!
I spent at least 8 hours in two days birding on this boardwalk: Magee Marsh-Ottawa County, Ohio, USA. Today “The “Biggest Week in America Birding” happens here. This is called the Warbler Capital of the World!
I saw a flash of orange, and sure enough, there were two robins in my back yard on January 6!!
Also a very nice touch of red during the Autumn season.
I set out for Force Rd. at the Killbuck Creek Wildlife Area in Wayne County, Ohio, to see if I could locate the King Rail, which had eluded me during at least 3 other visits! This time I was rewarded with a sighting of the birds, as well as the bonus of the other animals! Disclaimer: Some experts verified that these birds were the Common Gallinule bird! So it goes! Maybe next time!
Common Gallinule
Eastern Phoebe
White-tailed Deer
Raccoon
Common Gallinule – Some are likely young chicks
Beaver
I have been feeding the birds at my home, and where my Mother lives. Watching the birds is a enjoyable hobby.
