If every day was like this ....

Took a short drive SW of the city on 14 May 2013, to see what I could find. It started to rain a little, but then cleared up, though some dark clouds lingered. As you can see from this photo, I didn't find a whole lot of birds, but I did come across a few nice species, including a Merlin (also posted this morning), three Phalarope, Northern Shovellers, a pair of Cinnamon Teal, a pair of Canvasbacks, Mountain Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Blue-winged Teal, Red-winged and Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Scaup, Red-necked Grebes, two WIlson's Snipes, a Sora, and a few Ring-necked Ducks. Just thought this was a pretty scene.
