On the way there and back I took a few extra snaps, including a Magpie stuffing their mouth with food haha!

Am still yet to catch a good photo of these elusive red kites, they're everywhere around here but always flying too high or flying too randomly for me to snap a great photo. I'll get one someday!!!

Convinced it's a baby dinosaur not a baby coot.

Close up of the baby Grebe.

Not great photo, but fun!

I can't be the only person who finds something about pigeons fascinating? I don't know what it is about them but I'm drawn to them, so common yet so intelligent. So simple-looking yet so beautiful.

TUFTED DUCK
Recently moved into our local lake, as we have finally started to get a decent amount of rainfall. Our local lake has gone from approximately 20 birds to easily over 100 birds in about 2 weeks! Cool additions indeed, don't know much about tufted ducks but love their eyes!

When I saw these I thought they were Bluebills (greater scaup), we have a bunch of them around here. Never heard of tufted duck but after looking them up that's definitely what those appear to be. They have that distinguishing "tuft" of feathers on the back of their head....

We don't have magpies in Iowa, but I have seen them on my trips out West, and I know they are very clever birds. Thanks for sharing these photos!

In a way you're very lucky you don't have to put up with their racket, but they are pretty good looking birds too! No problem, love sharing!
