Early Christmas gift! My wife and I are exchanging volumes of our respective interests for holidays and birthdays until we have them all (she's getting Volumes I and II of Flora of North America).

It was a double rare bird weekend in Michigan! Tufted Duck and Barnacle Goose.
A Tufted Duck floats on the water in front of two Redhead ducks. A Barnacle Goose walking on grass with water in the background.

A companion to my photo from yesterday, a Ruffed Grouse perched along the roadside.

I went back and forth on what to post for my first bird photo to Bluesky but decided to include a particularly round Sharp-tailed Grouse from our cold weekend in the Upper Peninsula.

A Sharp-tailed Grouse is sitting on the top branch of a pine tree against a blue sky. The bird is fluffed up and round due to the cold temperature.
