I had some nice smooth water with great reflections of some herons and egrets at sunrise. Then some mallards came in and, being mallards, utterly failed at calmly #SittingOnWater. This great egret and I were very disappointed in them. #BirdOfTheDay

Haven't been near enough water for birds to sit on for months - the drought is long and deep.
Going back to May for a rare siting of an Earred Grebe #SittingOnWater. #BirdsofFrontRange 🌿

No new pigeon shots lately, but here is a set of birds #SittingOnWater from the past month or so. A mallard whose feathers appear to have exploded out from a few weeks back and a common murre from near Smith Island and a pelagic cormorant from Bellingham Harbor.
