While the large flocks of snow geese and tundra swans have moved on, a few individual geese were still to be found. A group of three were foraging within a few yards of the road for most of the morning. This is one of the three. Two of the three were noticeably holding a wing at an unnatural angle; they will not be making the migration this year.
Dad and I were exchanging lenses and equipment, and I am not 100% sure if he or I took this picture of a flying cormorant. I think it was Dad, but I enjoy the cormorant's unique silhouette, and since I took the liberty of cropping and otherwise adjusting the photo, I am posting it here :)
And lastly, the song of the red-winged blackbird could be heard throughout the morning. Many were perched at various intervals along the wire fencing used in the park. Here, a blackbird breaks into his call.

Just beautiful photos, and you got to spend the morning with your dad!
I know where the Middle Creek Wildlife Refuge is and have been there once or twice. It's about a half hour drive for me from here. One of these day's I'm gonna take my Pentax and take a look-see at what I just might catch on the Camera. Nice Image's.
I'm proud of you. You got some beautiful shots.
Good work Amy!
I see you "lifted" your dad's 30D and the 100-400 for the mornings shoot, good choice :)
Beautiful photos, as always!
