I went for a very early walk this morning and was rewarded with some looks at the wildlife waking for the day.

A very unshy rabbit methodically plowed his way through breakfast.


Hooray, the multicolored duck family was still intact.


They were dozing under Mama's watchful eyes.


The younger group of goslings were under Mama's protective wings.


Hey Ma - is it time to get up yet? No!


Hey bro - you awake? Wanna play?


Ma! Can I get up now? I want to play.


Shhhhh - just close your eyes and go back to sleep. Ignore him.


But we're not tired! *sighhhh* Okay. Up you get. Go and eat.


Here's Mama Wood Duck and four of her ten babies.


The Cinnamon Teal glowed.


A Flicker observed from a high branch.


So did some Cedar Waxwings.


They are my first Waxwings of the year.

Today, being an Early Bird was totally worth it!
