Bird activity is picking up in a riverside park, as the October weather continues to be hot and sunny. The usual half dozen Spot-billed Ducks have been joined by three dozen more Spot-billed, and about 20 Mandarin Ducks (mostly males).
What originally appeared to be two Asian Brown Flycatchers fighting turned out to be an Asian Brown Flycatcher and a female Red-breasted Flycatcher interacting. The tail-cocking Red-breasted Flycatcher was quite confiding, affording me long looks.

For this post, most of images are lamentably poor-resolution screensaves, as many of the original photo files were lost in the infamous computer crash of 2011.)
