11 March 2018 Deer Creek

I was traveling to Spokane in the morning so we stayed closer to home for an afternoon outing. It was an unusual visit for us to Deer Creek. We're often here in cold weather, but today was blue sky and sunshine with mallards and mergansers.

I'm not sure what this black-bodied duck was.

Bluebirds seemed to be pairing off for nesting at the woodline and the water's edge
