[mou] Photo site update
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --=_NextPart_000_0003_01C5E702.2FF2A870 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I updated my photo website today for those that are interested. I went to Reicks Lake Park in Alma, Wisconsin today to photograph Tundra Swans in flight. For the first time ever, Alma is not having many Tundra Swans migrating in the area. They said that the birds seem to be bypassing them and heading for LaCrosse. There were none to be seen at the Park's observation deck. I traveled a little South of there and turned onto Hwy 37 and found several Tundra Swans about four miles down the road. I have a photo of one in flight with another bird right behind it (to its left). I need help identifying the second bird to the left. I'm wondering if it is a Juvenile - ? I'd appreciate someone letting me know. The in-flight Belted Kingfisher photo was taken at Reads Landing and the in-flight Eagle photos were taken at Colville Park in Red Wing.

[mou] Blackbirds all in a Yard...
There was a large, at least a couple of hundred, mixed flock of Brewers and possibly Rusty Blackbirds in our yard this afternoon for a couple of hours. I began to notice a lot of noise as I was working on a job here at the computer. I grabbed my binoculars from the desk in front of me and saw that the birds all had light eyes, so that narrowed it down a bit. None of them had longer tails so that narrowed it down further. I watched and listened to their calls for some time. Being rusty on my Rusty & Brewer's BB calls, I listened to some CDs and am almost sure that I heard both voices... I sure could tell a difference in their plumage, many were very shiny and sleek and iridescent with blue heads, and some were a scaly brown and quite plump, as I remember Rusty's to be. I am aware that both species get decidedly more brown in the fall, but there differences in bird shape, call notes, song. I live near a wooded marsh, with oak trees all around. They were up in the trees and seemed to be foraging for acorns, and on the ground also. When they startled and flew up every few minutes, a large whooshing sound accompanied them, it was very fun and reminiscent of a large flock of ducks or geese all taking off at once. After an hour or so, they swooped off and disappeared...
