Song Sparrow by Cottonwood Lake

Saw a lot of Song Sparrows by Cottonwood Lake this morning. They don't sit still for long, but this one did for about 10 seconds so I could get the shot.

Male and Female Wood Ducks

Here are a couple of Wood Ducks I saw on Cottonwood Lake today. I've seen the females before, but this is the first time I've seen the male - wow! That's the most beautiful duck I've ever seen. #birds #photography #woodduck #hellyerpark 🪶

Goose Fight! This is a little different than what I usually post. I've never seen geese flight so violently before on Cottonwood Lake in Hellyer County Park.
