All Made Up

I've been trying to find some new local places to visit to find winter wildlife. Buddy Attick Park is mentioned by birders, especially for sightings of ducks.  I bundled up and went this morning.  It was a lovely walk around a small lake with numerous mallards, geese and sparrows.  It has lots of potential - mockingbirds,  some type of diving duck, and... the call of a kingfisher. With all of that, I ended up with a blip of a female Northern Cardinal.  The ducks were either too far away, or in poor lighting.  I didn't realize that female cardinals have red eye shadow to go along with that striking lipstick.

Thank you for visiting my journal.  I apologize if I haven't been to yours recently.  The days are just too short!  I share the frustration of others in the blip community that there isn't time to do it all.  So please know that your friendship and support are so important to me!
