Canvasbacks

Posted By Cal Sandfort

After taking a second look I think your Canvasbacks are Redheads. The yellow eye on the drake and the blue bill with black tip is Redhead. Canvasbacks have a red eye and black bills.

What do you think? - Cal

Clark's Grebe

I think you're correct! The Western has more gray on the flanks and the black surrounds the eye.

This photo and your Bumblebee are very nice shots. It looks like these flowers are popular.

Marsh Wren (I think?)

Posted By Cal Sandfort

Wow! You don't need a 10D or a D100, you have a wonderful combination. I don't know the Wrens at all but looking at Sibley's I think you're right.

Beautiful photo - Cal
