NevadaWolf , 3 days ago to random Couple of the birds seen near the diversion dam towards sunset. #CarsonRiver #ChurchillCounty #Nevada #Birds #Birding #BirdWatching #Wildlife #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #BullocksOriole #SpottedSandpiper #AmericanKestrel #WoodDuck A small shorebird with a brown back and wings, a spotted white chest, and a white eye line over a black eye from an orange-yellow beak, stands on the edge of the rippled river with algae covered stalks growing out of the rocky river bed. The setting sun shines brightly on the bird. The golden sunlight bathes a male American Kestrel as it perches at the end of a tall wooden pole. The bronze back and silver wings shine in the light, as the grey head, with white cheeks and two black lines, reveals a black eye looking back over its shoulder over a hooked yellow beak towards something in the distance. A dark brown female wood duck swims along the edge of a reed lined canal. The bright oval eye spot white around the black eye, with a dark blue patch on the wing. She is trying to distract the weird human from her babies that have tucked themselves in the reeds further down the bank.
