HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Three of my siblings celebrate birthdays within a week of each other in the month of March. Since the siblings all live back east, I visited a bird sanctuary in honor of today's birthday boy. Might just as well have stayed home. We see plenty of birds in our own back yard. They already think they're in a sanctuary the way we feed them. Anyway, saw a lot of water fowl there today too. Most of them weren't into holding still for pics. Except this little guy posing around and acting all sanctuaried.

In this other photo that white stuff isn't snow. It is some kind of salt. The park is in a "sink" (I'd translate that "salt marsh"). Interestingly I did not see another human or vehicle while out there.
