Swainson's Hawk

(most recent bird added to my life list - #426)

Save the birds and we Save ourselves

Pungent pun

Scientifically, a raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones 

at the end of the wing are called pinion feathers.

A crow has only 16.   Therefore the difference between a raven 

and a crow is only a matter of a pinion.

 "...hope you enjoyed birdwatching with me 

over the last 17 years."

Ducks christen new pool early...

Bailey Family photo

My daughter Allison sent me the above photo which she took this week, of the pool under construction in her backyard in Aurora.   No sooner had things got underway, than a pair of Mallard ducks decided to check it out.  There's still quite a bit of construction to be completed but these ducks may make a repeat visit in a few weeks time.
