From wren to hair gel

These are the more interesting birds that were seen on two walks in Kokanee Creek Park. 

As the Marsh Wren nests in wetlands, it is an infrequent visitor to this well drained region. It prefers to stay hidden.

Twice, I inadvertently flushed Wood Ducks, so the best I could manage was a picture of them flying off.

Townsend’s Solitaires were hanging around the campgrounds.

While walking past a pond, I found myself within metres of a female Hooded Merganser that had her crest raised. The male was nowhere to be seen, but she obligingly posed.

Possibly it is time that she cut back on the use of hair gel.
