Not all the birds at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge are waterfowl. There are other birds who find the refuge a fun place to visit. But I was a little concerned about the following two birds.
Okay, it looks like this bird has eaten enough to hibernate through the winter. And, um...I'm assuming it is a male. Then, on another branch, probably its mate? See below.
Seriously, I've discovered my mistake. All my life I've been trying to eat like a bird. Perhaps that is where I went wrong.
Are they grouse?
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm not sure what they are. There is a fabulous bird expert who occasionally happens upon this blog and lets me know what type of birds I have posted.
DeleteI'm pretty sure they are Mourning Doves. Where is that fabulous expert, anyway?
DeleteJewell, they DO look like doves. Fluffy ones.
