It was lightly snowing, but I simply couldn’t resist visiting Bayou Meto Wildlife Management Area. I had the trip in mind for several days and, well, I did wake up early to take a drive with Izzie.
I was the only person out, which was fine by me. I saw plenty of birds. Here’s some of what I saw:
Wilson’s Snipe
I’ve seen plenty of Northern Shoveler’s, but the ducks have always been just floating like this.
I finally saw the backside of a Northern Shoveler as the duck flew away. Gorgeous coloring!
Green-winged Teal
Ring-necked ducks
A Ruddy Duck and American Coot
Tree Swallow, first spring
