Residents

On a recent visit to Huntley Meadows Park, I found the regular cast of characters, including Green-winged Teals, Red-winged Blackbirds and Ring-billed Gulls (an immature below) who reside in the park throughout the year.  There were other regulars like the Northern Pintail, Hooded Merganser, American Black Duck and plenty of Mallards and Canada Goose.

 

One thing I was not expecting to see was a pair of Bluebirds here in February.  The male flew off just as I was trying to get a photo, but the female hung around just long enough to allow me one shot.  It was good reminder that Spring is around the corner.
