At a pond filled with wood ducks and geese, I found this one merganser pair. The male is dapper, while, not untypical, the lady is having one of those "bad hair days." Actually, I think female commons are much more interestingly marked than the males. Unusual for birds.....

Nest #2 pair near their nest. No eggs yet but I expect her to begin laying any day now. This pair had one successful fledge last year.
We learned from those with some more patience than ourselves, many thanks, that this pair had been up quite a few time times. Really nice to see the two together, a first for us :) Just for info the female is on the left of this picture landing first at what seems to be a potential nest site.
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!

Sandhill Crane Pair
Horicon Marsh, Wildlife Refuge, Wisconsin
The sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) is a species of large crane of North America and extreme northeastern Siberia. The common name of this bird refers to habitat like that at the Platte River, on the edge of Nebraska's Sandhills on the American Plains. This is the most important stopover area for the nominotypical subspecies, the lesser sandhill crane (Grus canadensis canadensis), with up to 450,000 of these birds migrating through annually.
Adults are gray overall; during breeding, their plumage is usually much worn and stained, particularly in the migratory populations, and looks nearly ochre. The average weight of the larger males is 4.57 kg (10.1 lb), while the average weight of females is 4.02 kg (8.9 lb), with a range of 2.7 to 6.7 kg (6.0 to 14.8 lb) across the subspecies.
These cranes frequently give a loud, trumpeting call that suggests a rolled "r" in the throat, and they can be heard from a long distance. Mated pairs of cranes engage in "unison calling". The cranes stand close together, calling in a synchronized and complex duet. The female makes two calls for every one from the male.
Sandhill cranes' large wingspans, typically 1.65 to 2.29 m (5 ft 5 in to 7 ft 6 in), make them very skilled soaring birds, similar in style to hawks and eagles. Using thermals to obtain lift, they can stay aloft for many hours, requiring only occasional flapping of their wings and consequently expending little energy. Migratory flocks contain hundreds of birds, and can create clear outlines of the normally invisible rising columns of air (thermals) they ride.

Pair of coots with reflection. I'm working from home now because of the corona virus so I've got a bit more time on my hands. This morning my new found leisure time allowed me to have my first proper walk around the park in ages. The weather was also perfect, beautiful bright spring sunshine. I spotted this pair of coots standing on a part sunken branch and the still water of the lake gave them a nice reflection.
All paired ready for collection. Click on pic for a larger view. E-M5/12-35mm.
Going to take a short flickr break, a big thanks to everyone for your support, see you all soon :):)
I had a small window through the Wild Hazelnut thicket to view this pair. The male did give the small caterpillar to the female, but she flew to the branch above the male and I missed the transfer shot. This is the first time I have captured a pair of Yellow Warblers.
In the river valley here, the Yellow Warblers tend to nest low in dense Hazelnut thickets. I have found nests at knee level, chest level, and eye level.

Stumbled upon a pair of sea shells at low tide, had my wide angle lens attached, so I got real low and captured this minimalistic image
