I’ve been discovering a lot of local wildlife, specifically birds! I live in an area where many birds pass through while migrating, I’ve seen some species I never even knew existed! It’s been pretty amazing! I haven’t taken my camera with me on all of my excursions, but the times I have, I’ve always seen something picture worthy! I’m super excited to share some images of new and familiar wildlife with you!
On a few days, there was this eerie misty fog in the air. It seemed almost surreal, but made everything look extra beautiful! Perhaps it was a result of the warm sun and the cool air mixing together? It’s the first time I really noticed and appreciated this phenomenon!
I said I saw some birds, right? Ok, here are a few birds that are new to me:
The Bufflehead’s are a small diving duck. They are so comical and amazing to watch. I believe they will be around all winter, since they come to this area for Migration and Breeding. I will feature pictures of them diving in another post – it’s pretty cool!
Now for some more familiar birds…
They are very cautious, but Mrs. Cardinal was brave enough to check out what we were doing.

The next few images belong in a series and tell the story of a Mallard Duck taking a bath. Enjoy…
It is very common to see the scene above. I call it “bottoms up”. The geese, swans and ducks do this to reach under the water for food. It’s comical!
I often come here to explore wildlife. I always discover something new or am shown something I never noticed before. It’s been extremely rewarding and good for reducing pandemic anxiety!
I hope you have enjoyed viewing these images!
Thanks,
Jasmin
