A male Red-breasted Merganser, one of 40 swimming and diving for fish offshore.
Two of nine Red-necked Grebes swimming offshore. Most had transitioned to breeding plumage, like the one on the right.
The gorget of the male Rufous Hummingbird reflects light and instantly changes colors. It sometimes looks like you could peel it off.
I'd never seen the yellow feathers under the wings of the Pine Siskin.
