Strange birds in the back yard


I went with the birding group this morning, at the Bluebonnet Swamp. When I got back, I discovered this strange pair. Since my end- of- season hunt got rained out, I've stayed in town for chores. Gotta work Sunday, but maybe can escape after that and Mardi Gras will give me an extra day off. The nutria (Pierre C. Shadeaux) saw his shadow today, so winter is not over yet. It was frosty this morning, but sunny, and it warmed up pleasantly. There were lots of birds about; I'm learning a little more about spotting and identifying birds.
