I was able to get out to do a little birding this week, and it started out on a great note. When I stepped out my front door
this American Robin was in the uppermost branches of the Ginko Tree in my front yard. I took that as a good omen!
Once at the pond I had a good walk-about, and found a couple types of Grebes, and many other wintering birds along with the regulars. Here are several I observed. I have many more I’ll be sharing in the coming days.
Pied-billed Grebe Adult Winter
Eared Grebe Winter
Hooded Grebe Adult Winter? I’m not positive what type of Grebe this is. Can anyone ID it for me?
Black-necked Stilt
Greater Scaup

More to come…

Magnificent shots Deborah. What beautiful birds!!
Thank you so much Cybele! I really enjoy seeing the birds that winter here they’re so different from what I normally see.
Agree with above. Horned Grebe. Great photos!
Thank you iago80 for the ID help and lovely comment!
Must thank you for getting me “outdoors” 🙂 I loved these photos.
Thank you Melissa! Hope you get a warmer day soon!
Good shooting Deborah, all nice and sharp and clear. Not being an ornithologist my guess would be a horned griebe. I’ve posted here and had some good results; https://www.flickr.com/groups/bird_id_group
