This is just a collection of the birds I've been seeing recently. In no particular order (I let the blogger program choose.)
 |
Harlequin duck, female. The male was hiding behind the rock. |
 |
Great blue heron waiting for low tide in a tree. |
 |
I stopped to look at fireweed and saw this hummingbird. |
 |
Mergansers. They would sit still in a group, then suddenly, all together, dash along the surface for a few seconds. As if they were attacking something invisible. Then they'd rest quietly again. Repeat. No apparent reason. |
 |
Red winged blackbird, male, singing for his mate in the rushes. |
 |
Showing off his red patch. |
 |
White-crowned sparrow, with goodies for the nestlings. |
 |
All fluffed out after an energetic bath. |
 |
Gull on seaweed, at low tide. |
There were more; there are always more, but they don't often wait for me.

Estos son unos de los pájaros que he visto recientemente.
- Una pata arlequín. El macho se escondió tras la roca.
- Una garza azul, esperando a que baje la marea, en la rama de un árbol.
- Me detuve para mirar las flores y sorprendí un colibrí.
- Serretas grandes. Descansaban, quietecitas, y luego de repente todas se echaron a acelerar sobre la superficie del agua por unos pocos segundos, como si atacara algo. Pero no había nada. Después, ahi se sentaron tranquilamente hasta que, quien sabe por que razón, otra vez atacaron al objeto invisible. Y otra vez, y otra ...
- Un sargento alirrojo, cantando para su hembra, ocupada con la cria entre las juncáceas.
- Aquí nos muestra su mancha roja.
- Un gorrioncito de corona blanca con el desayuno para sus polluelos.
- Otro, recién bañado.
- Y una gaviota en una roca cubierta de algas marinas variadas.
Había otros; siempre hay otros, pero tienen poca paciencia, y no se quedan quietos.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
