Some summer birds and comments and winter too!

Well that was a busy summer and fall. We did so many drives the area looking for new birds on the ponds and around the community. Many pictures were taken but only a few are good and even those are usually at long range.
Here is a collection of those pictures. I am sorry to say they are not in any particular order!
 Magpies in full form!
 Common Redpoll
 American Avocet - One of our favourite shore/wader birds to watch


 Red winged Blackbird
 Eastern Kingbird - First year in many we also had Western Kingbirds
 Belted Kingfisher
 On the shore in fall

 Who?
 Spruce Grouse on the road south of Waskesui
Ruffed Grouse
