In the past week I have gotten photos of four new birds, two at a nearby lake and two in my yard.


This Black-bellied Whistling-Duck is only the second of this species to have been recorded in this area. It was seen at a lake about 5 minutes from my house.

After seeing the previous duck and getting a photo with my RX10iv, I returned the next day with my a7RV. I didn't get good shots of the Whistling-Duck but did see a Red-breasted Merganser for the first time.

Two years ago I heard and got a glimpse of a Great Crested Flycatcher and had heard or seen one a few other times but was never able to get a photo. This past week I heard one in my neighborhood and finally was able to get a lot of photos over the past couple of days.

This morning I heard a bird call that was not familiar so I pulled out the Merlin app and it identified it as a Northern House Wren, a bird I have not seen or heard before. A few minutes later it flew into my back yard and I was able to get some photos.
