Steve and Judy's Travels!

This is what the male looks like.

This is what the female looks like.

Can’t tell them apart.

The bird at the top is the male.

The bird at the bottom is the female.

They could be mistaken for different birds.

And a house finch.

Jockeying for position.

Usually they’re at the waterline foraging, but here they are on a post.

Willets are conspicuous, and a coastal thing, except when they go inland to breed on the prairie in the summer.

Post-cataract surgery, as expected, the sight in my right eye is improving every day.  That’s normal for the first week or two as my eye and brain adjust.  I got the multifocal lens, so now I see well at any distance without glasses and even though the vision in my left eye is pretty good, my right eye is already better.  But now I miss something.  I miss the transition lenses on my glasses that go from light to dark and keep the sunlight just right whether I’m indoors or out, sunny or shady!  If I want that back, I’ll have to find some nonprescription photochromic sunglasses.  That’s funny.  Now that I don’t need glasses, I’m looking for glasses.
