New Places

Murphy and I stopped by a new place yesterday and went back today - it is on the edge of the wildlife refuge and has a lake and streams running through it.  Ducks, geese, cormorants and fish - signs say that muskrats live there also although none in sight so far. It is a great walking place, although I have to be careful with Murphy as he has a tendency to go into the water by the fishermen - not a welcome event!
So here are some bird photos:

Murphy startled the mallards, above but they didn't go very far.  The colors you see when their wings are open are very vivid.

Some kind of geese that come quickly when someone brings out the bread!
Tricolored blackbirds are back and filling the air with NOISE!
Not sure why the white one is hanging out with all the mallards, but cute.  Sometimes you need to break the rules and try something different to get a visually exciting photo.
