Ottawa NWR & Magee Marsh Bird Trail: Monday 5-1-17

Today is Wednesday, 5-3-17. As mentioned, cell and internet coverage is VERY spotty so have to send things as we can.  Sorry for the gluttony at certain times.  Hope you are enjoying the images.

American Kestrel



North America's smallest falcon.



Lesser Scaup Pair



Female on the left



Muskrats









Solitary Sandpiper




Its habit of nesting in the abandoned nests of other birds is unique among North American shorebirds, which generally nest on the ground.




While not truly solitary, it does not migrate in large flocks the way other shorebirds do.
