Andrea's brain was fried from 2 weeks of neurology, so we needed some peaceful outdoor time.
Drippiness was no deterrent, and we were rewarded with some unusual sights.
Duck butts!
Red-breasted Sapsucker
As we were walking, this sapsucker flew low over our heads and then landed on a tree a little way off. Andrea stalked it, sneaking up behind a nearby tree trunk to snap this photo.
Recently excavated sapsucker wells on a tree trunk
Fabulous wood duck
American wigeon (not a socialist commie wigeon)
Is it a goose??? No, a Great Blue Heron! In a tree.
This regal bird was posed for us just below its nest (can you see it?) It really is quite an amazing sight to see such a big bird way up in a tree, perched daintily on its stilt-like legs. The one below was atop (very tippy top) a 200 ft tall fir tree!
WTF.
