During a ride around Lake of the Lilies, the sparrows came out so I could take pictures.
These are the same ones that I featured two weeks ago that were hiding in the sticker bushes.

I saw so many Ruddy Ducks, this is a male...
this is a female.
These are Scaups, female in the front, a male in the back.
Always enjoy your Saturday Critter photos Debbie. They have so much charm. I would enjoy taking out the canoe also. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove these shots of sparrows and ducks. Great shots all, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteYes, before long those things will be in the water, rolling around. I was out on the deck today with the cats watching the birds with them. I am loving the singing and the flying around. Just filled up the birdfeeder...cats love it when I bring the birds to them.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the sparrows and ducks.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good weekend.
All the best Jan
The Sparrows really blend into the tree limbs and twigs! Good eyes to see them. I'm glad you got out this week...I know you love this place and we love your photos!
ReplyDeleteThinking of canoes is really a lovely idea — it will be a few months before the water temperature here lets us go paddling!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.

Time to go to Shrimp Box! I am Turing 90 this week.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we appreciate House Sparrows enough because there are so many of them around but they really are sweet birds. Good that you featured them in this post. It is always a joy to view your posts.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog. Deer in my yard? Yes, I made the photo through my dining room window!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Debbie You can always rely on the Sparrows appearing and great shots of the ducks. Sorry I have not time to comment. I am hoping to be moving to Australia and have just put my home on the market so LOTS and LOTS to do.
ReplyDeleteHello Debbie,
ReplyDeleteLovely captures of the Sparrows, I am glad they came out and posed for some photos. The Ruddy Ducks are so cute and great shots of the Scaup. Great post.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy new week. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Nice posing by the sparrows! Love the ducks! It was a good outing!
ReplyDeleteruth...90!!! i would have never guessed that, you are amazing!! i believe the shrimp box is open now, we drove past the other day when we left the inlet!! happy birthday my friend, i hope you have a very special day!!
ReplyDeleteHello Debbie :=) You don't often see sparrows these days, not on blogs anyway, and it's a shame. Your photos of these cute birds are lovely,and the Ruddy ducks also.
ReplyDeleteAll the best.
Wow all lovely nature captures, and not a snowflake in sight. You are so much closer to spring than us!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I've ever seen a ruddy duck.
ReplyDeleteI love your sparrows. They are underestimated birds in my opinion.
Fine looking feathered friends!
ReplyDeleteDebbie - a couple of days ago, I saw two ducks on the only open water around here - in the creek. Brave souls ... not much to eat around here (yet). I did spot the first Red-winged Blackbird at my feeder today - a sure sign that Spring is around the corner!
ReplyDeleteI love sparrows we have four nests on our house and we feed them all winter. Very nice pict
ReplyDeletesuch pretty ducks, I can't wait for the temps to go into the 50's and stay there.
