Pond Motel Rm. # 14

Over the years our pond has been a stop along the flight path of many birds.
This Wood Duck(Aix sponsa) stayed for a day and then off he went. He sure is a beauty. MB

Chicken's ear

Did you know that Chickens have ears. That fuzzy hole where the feathers start is the ear.
A tidbit from my mind full of trivia. But not a trivial mind.

Now a Museum...

.....Once a Carnegie Library.
The Carnegie Library was built in 1909 and became the Anacortes Museum in 1968 and in 1977 was placed on the National register of Historical Places.

Steelhead Fishing

Winter Steelheading on the Nooksack River

His Majesty

Are we going somewhere???

The men are having a confab....
The women are resting (so they say--I say gossiping)...
So lets sash-shay our feathers away.
Shhhhhhhh

BTW: These are Trumpeter Swan. They winter over in the Valley.


I took these today down in Skagit Valley--It was a nice day. We still have a few feet of snow at our house but seeing that the valley is almost sealevel--they have NO snow.
