The Urban Birdscape: Part 5

~ Christine

Even though I go there so frequently, the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary never ceases to leave me enthralled.  We are so lucky to have this island of wildlife habitat in the city.   Today’s early morning junket revealed a tetrad of double-crested cormorants and a delightful interlude with a couple of spotted fawns and their mother.

Unidentified duck.  I would love to know who she is.

And this guy.  Don’t know who he is either.  A house wren, possibly?

Here he is with his eyes open.  He was singing his heart out.

  1. I believe that the duck is a female green-winged teal, but I’m not positive. The other unidentified bird is a wren, but it doesn’t look like the house wrens that we have in the eastern US. It looks more like a Bewick’s wren, but I’m not sure that they are found as far north as you are.
