Never saw one perched off the ground. The hunters were out in the fields. Think the birds know if they get to the gates, they are safe.

I saw this group of Ring-necked ducks at Commonwealth Lake yesterday. I had heard that some folks have seen a golden eye there; although I didn't see it, I was happy to see these!

Seven - James
"Ring, ring the bells
wake the town
everyone is sleeping
shout at the crowd
wake them up
this anger is deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happen
I can't see a thing through my ambition
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I new longer feel my God is watching
Break, break the code
Concentrate,
let the door swing open
See, through all my walls
All my floors, now I'm in deeper than sleep
When you let me fly,
grew my own wings,
now I'm tall as the sky
When you let my drown
grew gills and fins
Now I am as deep as the sea
When, you let my die,
my spirits free
There's nothing challenging me"

My first migratory duck shot of the season - always exciting.
The storm water ponds and lakes in parks and neighborhoods here are the first to open up and provide a landing place for the early arriving migrating waterfowl giving them a place to rest and feed before the melt of the natural lakes in this area and farther north.

Ring Ouzel - Turdus Torquatus
Slightly smaller and slimmer than a blackbird - male ring ouzels are particularly distinctive with their black plumage with a pale wing panel and striking white breast band. The ring ouzel is primarily a bird of the uplands, where it breeds mainly in steep sided-valleys, crags and gullies, from near sea level in the far north of Scotland up to 1,200m in the Cairngorms.and also several other locations within the UK.
Breeding begins in mid-April and continues through to mid-July, with two broods common, and nests are located on or close to the ground in vegetation (typically in heather), in a crevice, or rarely in a tree. The young are fed a diet consisting mainly of earthworms and beetles.
It breeds in the higher regions of western and central Europe and also in the Caucasus and in the Scandinavian mountains. Most populations are migratory, wintering in the Mediterranean region. It is declining in parts of its range, particularly in Ireland.
It is territorial and normally seen alone or in pairs, although loose flocks may form on migration. When not breeding, several birds may also be loosely associated in good feeding areas, such as a fruiting tree, often with other thrushes.
Population:
UK breeding:
6,348 pairs

Munching on what I think might be a snail. Taken in fading light on a small partially frozen-over pond where a few ring-necked ducks have been showing up around this time for the past several years. Without a better spot to hide, I stayed flat on the mud at the edge of the pond for quite a while, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, but this was about as close as any of them came. Still a pretty big crop.
The Rose-ringed Parakeet Parakeets have now also reached my hometown. Last summer I saw (and heard) them for the first time in our neighborhood. This week they came by regularly,
