Craig Johnson, bird photographer extraordinaire, has put together a nice slide show of birds at Earth Sanctuary. 

Note: it features large images, so it may  test your internet connection.  It automatically replays.

Thank you Craig!

Saturday afternoon, January 10, 2009, bird watchers saw several Ring Necked Ducks on the Earth Sanctuary ponds.  One of the bird watchers told me that he had never seen this duck before.  Grab your binoculars and come out and see them!
