Howdee all,
A few days ago Jeff and I decided to check out the water treatment plant..in Tucson.
We have been doing some birding around Tucson…we see birds..but..Wow..
this place was hoppin with birds…
Upon entering the area there is the little waterway below…
There were birds flying all around the area ….
Black Pheobe The areas we have been birding were much slower
Because of year round water here…More birds…
Orange crowned warbler The water was still and reflective…
So i had fun playing around with the reflections.. Verdin..notice the orangey bit on the wing
Cinnamon TealHere's my fun with Reflections…
I love this one….with the cool swirls of color…
Northern ShovelerCommon moorhen
We weren't here long, as we had other commitments..We enjoyed every minute here..
American Coot.. This bridge leads to a viewing area…
Pie-billed GrebeBlack throated Gray Warbler..a real treat! Ducks flying in the distance…
Harris Hawk..one of two we saw here..Eurasian collared doveLeast SandpiperYellow Warbler
Yellow warbler…off catching bugs…
We will be back…and spend more time…
Great Place to Bird
What a great place to bird. Absolutely love all the reflections. Excellent captures Dawn.

Wow, Dawn! You guys had a great birding day! Very beautiful photography! Wonderful bird captures!
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn, it's been ages since I dropped by here! I love those reflection pictures, very strange... the clarity of the reflections is amazing! I saw a couple of shovellers on our local park pond - never seen them there before, not sure if they are the same as the ones you get but they look identical to my eye. It's so interesting comparing what you got to what we have in the UK :)
ReplyDeleteBirding gold!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn. What a great location. I'm a fan of reflections and you provided a host of shots to make me happy. FAB.
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection water shots. Enjoyed them as well as the water and nature background shots!
