Belted Kingfisher
The only time I was able to get a photo of one this year. Was a little distant and lighting was not the best.

Cat Tails - Backlit

Cackling Geese
The wooden chutes in the left of the photo are part of a toboggan run.

Seems to have an injured wing

Chickadee, Black Capped

Chickadee, Black Capped
A fluke. Chickadee took off as I was about to take its photo. I did manage to get the twig in focus.

Dark Eyed Junco

Canada Geese - Cackling Geese

Greater Yellowlegs
A surprise for me. Just happened to look up and spotted it. As soon as it noticed that I was watching it it ran off.

Mallard
I took a ridiculous number of Mallard photos.

Not certain what kind. Smaller than a Mallard. Possibly a Blue Winged Teal juvenile or a very young Mallard.

Raven
A little ways out of its range. Don't see them too often this far South.
