I captured this rare visitor to Michigan last Saturday evening. I had heard a bunch of rumbling while I was at work that one had showed up at the beach in one of our local metro parks. When I got off work, me and my wife went to mass and after words headed over to the park. We located him out on the beach. He allowed me to photograph him without being spooked for a little bit. I spent about 10 min rattling off a bunch of images and then left him alone. Figured he needed some food and rest for the rest of his journey.
He was standing just on shore when this little wave came in and splashed off of him.
(Catching up as I been working 65+ hours a week for a while now)

An American Robin (Turdus migratorius) over-wintering searches for some food at the edge of a small opening in the ice on a wetland in an urban pond in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
These Robins were observed as feeding on Stickleback minnows which were near the surface of the open water in this pond.

American Wigeon (Mareca americana) breeding males have obvious white blaze on forehead and broad green slash behind eye (left side of the picture). Females are plainer brown with rusty sides (One on the right side of the picture). Females are very difficult to distinguish from female Eurasian Wigeon; note colder grayish-brown head on American that contrasts with warmer orangey sides. Also look for brighter white, not gray, underwings in flight, but this can be difficult to judge, especially at a distance. Widespread and common in North America, occasionally wintering as far south as northern South America. Typically in flocks on lakes and wetlands, often grazing in nearby fields. Regular vagrant to Europe.
American Coot - Foulque d'Amérique
I just realized that duck hunting is allowed til the end of January in most of the places I visited in CA. That explains probably why they are so skittish in March.

I went to the Conowingo Dam this morning for the first time this season. I walked away with some decent snaps, mostly of eagles still in their juvenile coloration. Their were not many adult close-ups or fly-bys, and this image here was one of the better ones. Thought I'd start out by posting an adult eagle! Please view large for best Bald Eagle experience.
Thanks for stopping by ~!
From the Cornell Lab:
"One of the largest North American birds, the American White Pelican is majestic in the air. The birds soar with incredible steadiness on broad, white-and-black wings. Their large heads and huge, heavy bills give them a prehistoric look."
I was able to photograph this one flying in front of a nice mountain/sky backdrop at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge near Ogden, Utah.
Continuing to alternate between birds and mammals photographed during our most recent travels.

An American Robin lets us know spring has sprung. It was more cooperative than the Bluebird for a photo. I set the camera up on tripod with a remote release but the Bluebird decided to land on the camera instead of in front of it. Maybe it wanted a selfie. I guess I'm fortunate it didn't leave any droppings on it. Thanks for the views, faves and comments.
A chunky bird of western streams, the American Dipper is North America's only truly aquatic songbird. It catches all of its food underwater in swiftly flowing streams by swimming and walking on the stream bottom.
The American Dipper chooses a nest site, invariably along a stream, that provides security from floods and predators. Availability of suitable nest sites appears to limit its populations.
To be able to survive in cold waters during the winter, the American Dipper has a low metabolic rate, extra oxygen-carrying capacity in its blood, and a thick coat of feathers.
Unlike most other songbirds, but similarly to ducks, the American Dipper molts its wing and tail feathers all at once in the late summer. The bird is flightless during this time.
