Male Hooded Merganser (Breeding)

The hooded merganser is one of my favorite ducks even though it is extremely common here on the coast. I painted this duck with one of my best friends (Toby) who also has a blog called  (Birdy McBirdface).

  6. Hi Cedar! It's been a few years since we saw you and your parents. We used to live in Tofino....myself, François, Sojourn and Imaji. That was 8 and 1/2 years ago, though so we were all younger then! It's so great to see you on line with this blog. I will follow it to learn about the birds you love. Please give hugs to your parents for me and if you ever visit Nelson, you have a place to stay!

  7. You do have beautiful hair! I like seeing, hearing, and naming birds too. So I will learn from you, and Toby. And I will share with Rhys. Thanks!

    I'm having trouble negotiating the next step. I hope you get this! Kathy

  8. Hi Cedar, I found your blog through your Dad,s Facebook page and I love birds too! I live in Victoria near Swan Lake which is a nature sanctuary that gets dozens of different types of birds. I built my entire garden around attracting them, and so far I have counted 37 species in Mt back yard over the past decade. My favourites are the Rosy breasted nuthatch - I love their slate blue backs and punk chests and the smart tilt of their heads. If u are ever visiting the city, go for a walk around Swan Lake, you will not be disappointed!
