“What do you mean, say I look like a dork!”

“Not only do you look like a dork! You look like a dorky duck!”

“Well! I never! Come on, Donald, we don’t have to listen to this lowly teenager insult us!”

“That’s obvious, given they have no ducklings!”

“Make a skedaddle paddle for the bank boys, there a paparazzo pointing a bazooka at us!”

Maybe the paparazo is not as much of a threat as they thought.

Mama duck got her ducklings in a row.

Spunk: “Whoa! Look at that sunset extravaganza!”

Summer Tanager In Spring

We were not able to go on a walk until sunset

Wynona stopped by to say hi

Can you find Wynona in the above photo?

Who do you think hold its beak under water the longest? Looks like the far duck won.

Goose family

Can you find Daddy Owl in the above photo?

While I was photographing Daddy Owl, I heard a chirping close by, and there was a Summer Tanager perched right in front of me. I could barely see him in the darkness.

The clearest shot I could get of the owlet in the darkness. I could not find were the out-of-nest owlet was tonight.

Turtles have their heads barely out of the water, holding their mouths open, waiting for a meal to come close enough to snatch.

Beaver Coyote Overdrive

Goosey Dawn

Beavers have been taking care of business dragging willows to the river.

Coyote: “Is that Wynona taking care of beaver business I spy?”

I’m flying to Germany tomorrow. Spunk helped me pack.

“What do you mean I can’t go?”

Sunset

Beaver

A beaver swam in the shallows, while cranes were taking a break on their way north.

Beaver stopped in front of us to get a snack. He paid no attention to us.

Dusk

Windy

We’ve had high winds the last two days that have blown most of the dried leaves off of Resa’s Wolf Tree.

The wind did not blow away the color at twilight this morning.

The goose thought the old paparazzo wouldn’t see it if it stuck its head in the water!

Glenda

Fewer leaves on Resa’s Wolf Tree at sunset than were there at twilight.

Fuzzy mountains from the dust

Cranes flew by fast with the tailwind.

The cranes hovered in the wind when they were coming in for landing.
