Birds at Kensington Metropark

 

Because people feed birds along the boardwalk, they are quite unafraid, like this dove.

The red-winged blackbird loved the seeds that several people were offering them.
Park policy permits feeding seeds to small birds like these.

A muskrat was very close to the boardwalk. (Not a bird)


This sandhill crane was missing one foot and part of a wing. He was right on the path.
We assume he survives because people feed him and protect him.

A crane family with this chick were patrolling the parking lot at the picnic area.


They closely approached our table, but we didn’t feed them as it’s not allowed.
