Ducks and geese galore here at this little pond. Nice area for bird watching.

I know you can't tell but that is a mourning dove taking flight off that gazebo feeder.

Lots and lots of swans....bathing in sandy water.

Snowy own at the Parrot Refuge in Holland.

I forgot what kind of bird this is... but look at those huuuge feet!

Aaaaaand she swings! Nice to see her swinging. Wonder if she (and Sydney) consider it fun. Sure looks it.

Sonny in the sun.

Coscorba swan at the Parrot Refuge in NL.

Sweet Sonny...

Syd perching and posing! I was surprised. Good birdie!

Sonny checking out my camera...

Sydney from above... pretty blues on his back (and belly and tail).

Ohh, proof they both (sometimes) eat their veggies! :)

Sydney from above.

After a while, Sonny couldn't help herself, she seemed to wanna get to know the "other bird"... luckily, (after 2 months or so) they seem to get along and can be housed together.

Sydney in the other cage. (See Sonny?) He's pretty patient with the camera, for now.

Downy woodpecker at the suet feeder.

Sonny hanging out.

This is from when Sydney was in his separate cage. I was still debating over names at the time I took this and I keep thinking of Sydney as that name when I see this photo. (had been considering "Laci" at the time...ultimately decided on Sydney)

One lone beauty.

Two beauties at the local duck pond.
