Beautiful set of images to start off on Eric. Thats quite large for a Wren when you think of our European species.

A Chaffinch sings it’s little heart out on a beautiful spring morning.

Nice shots so far. This is a great blue heron along one of the waterways in the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge.

These are fantastic Eric!

And you are so lucky! If you get locked in place because of the Coronavirus you can still capture awesome birds every morning at your place!

I got this last night at a local small lake in a local park. I have no clue what this is as it looks like it's part rooster.

I am pretty sure that is a Muscovy Duck, Jim. It is a domesticated version. The wild version is usually black and white.

Nice image of a Red-winged Blackbird on a cattail, Ben. That is a perfect habitat shot.
