Weekend of colorful birds

No, not warblers, not yet. Another few weeks before those colorful birds are here.

Yesterday we had fantastic looks at the very colorful pheasant. Today we had a pair of Wood Ducks that ventured very close to our group. (Paul and Diana led a birding trip to Horn Pond in Woburn this morning.) It was overcast, cold and windy- very different from what we will be experiencing later this week when we (Paul, Diana, Pamela and myself) head out to Texas to bird the hill county and Big Bend.
