Four species seen during a walk.
Usually found flitting about bushes, the Grey Catbird is named for its cat-like call.
This is a robin. The speckled breast reveals it to be a juvenile.
Two male Barrow’s Goldeneye Ducks seem to synchronize the examination of an intruder.
The Red-naped Sapsucker is a woodpecker that carves horizontal lines of holes in the bark of trees. Later, it returns to collect the sap and insects attracted to it. Earlier holes can be seen as a line of scars on the tree trunk.
Hi Alistair
Thanks for the uplift.
A quick question: Do those two male Goldeneyes appear the way you actually saw them – or rather the way they saw you, that is, via the right eye – or did you happen to reverse the images for one reason or another?

Trevor,
That was the way I saw them. That is almost directly out of the camera — no tricks. However, I did filter for digital noise to get rid of granularity in the water.
