It was birdy both mornings, but on Sunday morning there was a nice collection of mostly new waterfowl present. The highlight was a single Red-necked Grebe (too far out for photos unfortunately); that&#8217;s a bird I alway enjoy seeing. Other waterfowl species included: Canada Geese, Mallards, Northern Pintails, Ring-necked Ducks, Buffleheads, Ruddy Ducks, American Coots, and Double-crested Cormorants. Both mornings were beautiful, and really I didn&#8217;t do as well with photos as maybe I should have, but that&#8217;s how it goes sometimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102624-RCKI-2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ruby-crowned Kinglet at Wickham Lake, 10\/26\/24.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-DCCO.jpg 2039w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Double-crested Cormorant in flight at Wickham Lake, 10\/27\/24.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-RUDU.jpg 1390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Ruddy Duck at Wickham Lake, 10\/27\/24.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/102724-BEKI-1200x750.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~This Belted Kingfisher was chased across the lake by a Northern Harrier, of all things.
