Today on Mohr Road and Galetta Side Road, Richard Waters found a pair of Barnacle Geese. They are a on the edge of the Missisippi River and can be sometimes seen from the hill about 1 km east on Mohr Road.
This is a new bird for Ottawa, a nice Sunday morning surprise.
I managed this photo, from about the other side of the river. It is an extreme crop and focus.
These photos were from Europe on past trips.
Great find, Thanks to Richard Waters
Ciao for now
The two locations in the title, are in Boynton Beach, one easy, one hard to pronounce, each with over a mile of boardwalks and best of all they are free. They offer good opportunities to birders and photographers alike, of some the best unobstructed views of many type’s of wading bird that can be found in Florida, during various seasons. Visitors will not be disappointed
The boardwalks, make for easy walking and best of all no mosquitos.
Sue and I spent a lovely afternoon, there before we caught out flight home.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
