Blackbirds, Coot, and Ruddy

I found this place near an entrance to a highway. It was sandwich between the highway and new homes.

Eureka! You have hit a gold mine! thanks for sharing! Cool shot of the beaver!

Very nice set, Jun. The first is a great in-flight shot and I love the Grackle. Good work.

Excellent, love the beaver

Nice shots of the running coot and the Ruddy Duck. I'm also quite sure that the mammal is a Muskrat not a beaver.

And they called it Muskrat love! xD Thanks for the classification, I automatically saw beaver, but, I'm a in door unaware folk lol!

Very nice series Jun, the grackle shot is crackin' good! excellent IF shot of the female RWB too . and thanks to you, now I know that big rat I saw the other day is not a rat . Its a muskRAT

Nice!

nice series

Nice to see the Ruddy duck, havent seen one for years as they are being shot over here by the RSPB to protect the White -headed duck, on the continent.

Thanks for everyones' kind comments. My apologies for the late reply, I was in an internet unfriendly area.

It's the first time I've seen a blue billed duck before so I was quite excited seeing it. I hope he's a resident because I'm going back to get another glimpse. Thanks again everyone.
