I am thankful for migratory birds! I enjoy seeing our Winter visitors.

Last Sunday a small flock (about 20 birds) of Ring-necked Ducks, Aythya collaris, were on a pond a few miles from our house. As the weather begins to warm up, Ring-necked Ducks will be on their way to their breeding grounds in Canada and Alaska, though some flocks stop in the United States just south of the US/Canada border to nest and raise their young.

I hope to see them again next Winter!

Have a blessed day!
