I'm reasonably confident of the identifications because we went with a serious birder friend. These are the ones that are relatively less common. We were looking for a long tailed duck that was reported nearby, but didn't sight them. These were cool enough. I've saved these files larger than I normally would, so they should get bigger and sharper if you click on them.
Red Throated Loon
Boreal Chickadee
Barrow's Goldeneye
When we got home for a late lunch on the deck, a downy woodpecker was banging away on an old cottonwood and some nuthatches seemed to have made their nests in the old woodpecker holes.
You're photos are nice, and a much better way to start the day then reading some of the headlines this morning. Thank you!
