There were a lot of turkey vultures in Northern California when I visited a year ago. Very unusual looking birds. Maralee
Turkey Vulture – Day 92 – A Year of Wildlife
Lesser Goldfinch – Day 91 – A Year of Wildlife
I didn't have many birds at my feeders over the winter so I was thrilled to see the lesser goldfinches return this week. I expect to be seeing more of them as spring progresses. Maralee
Swans – Day 89 – A Year of Wildlife
Peacock – Day 87 – A Year of Wildlife
This was taken a few years ago at Yellowstone Bear World (not to be confused with Yellowstone National Park). I had been watching this peacock for a while hoping it would fan its feathers and just as we were about to leave, it did. Maralee
Killdeer – Day 86 – A Year of Wildlife
I went down to the river for the first time since I started having ankle problems and there were a couple of killdeer on the mud flats. I heard them before I ever saw them. They have a very distinct voice. Maralee
