Wednesday's Birds..

Today started off quite well for a birdhead! A group of Cedar Waxwings visited our backyard fountain to get a drink of water. Fortunately the fountain was working, although much of the surface was frozen. They were very cute to watch!
Then off to the refuge. A Black-crowned Night Heron sitting in a tree greeted me, from there a White-faced Ibis, then a Great Egret in the distance, a Bonaparte Gull (wonder how it got that name?), a Snowy Egret, American Avocets, Northern Shoveler pretending to sleep, and a very goofy squirrel sitting out on a branch where any raptor could get him!
Nice to be out there...
