Birder's Bonus 145




Got some bird pics around Machinys lake. Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) sang in surrounding trees. On the lake itself, what appeared to be a pair of Canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) dived in the water. More traditionally, a female Mallard (Anas platyrhychos) took her young out to feed on the waters.
