Saw a group of Old Squaws (or Longtail ducks as they're called now due to PC culture) at Clinton Lake in Kansas this February. Must've gone blown off course by a few thousand miles.

 

I saw a group of old squaws the other day as well. They were drinking beer at the local VFW hall. 😅

Smokin camels and playing cards.  Rare!   Very rare😂

I saw a beautiful bird this weekend...unfortunately it was not alive.  Indigo Bunting.

We ride on a trail called dardenne greenway and there is a stretch that has a bunch of them.  Beautiful birds.

Tanagers  are fairly common in and around Bella Vista, Quill, both summer and (less so ) scarlet, I saw  several pairs each summer when I was building and trimming houses there, and I usually have a pair nest in my yard.  One year long ago there were a pair of each nested in the same walnut tree. My guess is they aren't real sociable or need bigger territories than some birds because they seem to stay a mile or so apart in nesting.

Thought that they may have been making dumplings with your inlaws🤣
