Fun Fall Outing 2024

 

Every autumn we go for a Fun Fall Outing, preferably somewhere involving a country road and some pumpkins. This year, we drove to Ramona to check out some farm stands. It was fun and a Fall outing)!

This crested duck is so cute and funny: it looks like George Washington...

Just Ducky (and Cooty)

 

Many waterfowl at Lake Arrowhead, including some mallards, cinnamon teals, and many many American coots (birds with white beaks). Quack quack!

Birds, Seen

 

A fun hike on Sunday at the San Elijo Lagoon. 

We saw an egret.

A belted kingfisher (I've never seen one before!).

A Great egret.

(Size comparison here between the egrets...and some ducks!)

And not sure what this bird is...a mockingbird (maybe?).
