A Variety

These were taken back in January, just before my hip replacement surgery. Since I have been unable to get out, I decided to post these. They were just some of the birds we saw in less than two hours at the park.

Pileated Woodpecker #1

Wow, you did well. Got real close it seems.

Very nice Stan....I really like all of these

Thanks, Andrew. Lots of birds down here, and plenty of cheap houses.

Very nice set Stan. Somehow I missed these back in January. I wonder if the Pintails are still around.

Very nice Stan I hope this means you are on the mend and will be out soon again, I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, Don. I haven't been out there since the day we ran into you there. I saw the pintails near shore a few minutes later. You had just passed by them. There were a couple of blue-winged teals there also. Sorry you missed them.

Thanks for your good wishes, Bret. While these were before my surgery, I'm happy to say the recovery has been going well. I use a cane still, so haven't gone birding yet. However, my wife and I are starting a trip in a couple days that will take us to Texas for birding and bluebonnets, followed by New Mexico and Arizona. I feel I can get into shape for hiking pretty quickly. The hip replacement is much easier to recover from than the knee.
