Day 65 - Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, Cormorants

We thought these were American Black Ducks, but this was incorrect. They are cormorants! How funny, I can identify cormorants in the air or drying their wings, but can't when they're just swimming in the water. (Maybe now I can?)

Day 65 - Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, Bald Eagle

This shot doesn's show his shape as well, when he flew over the wings were definitely eagle. His head and tail are white, which is usually a bald eagle. The park hadn't found any Bald Eagles on the recent survey, so we must have just gotten lucky.

Day 65 - Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, Mute Swans

I identified these incorrectly at first as Tundra Swans. A much more knowledgeable birder provided the correct identification!

Day 65 - Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, Dunlin

I am not a birder, but went through the list of birds from a recent park survey and looked up pictures until I could find this one!

Day 65 - Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, American White Pelican in Flight

This is a very large bird who appears to fly slowly. However, I could only get one shot of him flying, so he isn't as slow as he looks.

Day 63 - Cardinal

This fellow was right outside our RV Saturday morning. Of course, he refused to sit still for me to take a good picture. Maybe it's good enough to prove we saw him?

Day 39 - Loon

There were two of these birds way out on Marshfield Dam. I used the maximum zoom (12x) and have cropped the picture to avoid loosing resolution, but we think these were loon's. If not, let us know.
