Next we have a real bird down by the pond. I believe this is a muscovy duck, although it could be a hybrid.

It's February and the Critters are Busy
Birds are enjoying my feeders and other animals are still doing their own things.
When I saw these red creatures on a sign, I wondered what they were supposed to be! I took a cell phone picture and later I finally realized what represent: lovebirds! (Never mind that they are look like red pickles!)

Flash, as usual, observes all, at least when he isn't sleeping.
Finally, another large bird beside the pond. I had seem the great blue heron earlier, flying quickly out of sight. I was excited when he came back to our yard and I got this picture using a zoom lens.
