Brasher - this was a surprise bird for us today. It remained atop a dead tree flycatching for over 20 minutes, lifting off briefly then returning usually to the same branch. It called periodically. I love the call 'quick three beers' :) Look it up if you have never heard it. At one point a Phoebe came along and flew at it but it warded it off. Later likely an Alder flew at it and it similarly rebuffed the attack.

Ottawa - What's wrong with this picture? Those are two of four Hooded Merganser ducklings with some of the Wood Duck's 9 ducklings of her own. The odd thing is mother duck had all 13 with her and no sign of Hoodie, at least not right there. We thought of a couple of possibilities. She was playing babysitter while Hoodie went on her own for a swim or she was the mother of the four oddballs but did't lay the eggs. Both birds laid eggs in the same tree nest and the Wood Duck ended up brooding. Interesting regardless.
