The Paparazzi Arrived?

I tried to get closer to capture a better photo - I overheard the orange bill guy say, ‘Act natural,’ but they all bolted when the paparazzi showed up!

It has been a while since we saw a American Black Duck. The males have a yellow bill. They were just floating around on this fishing pod at Garbry Big Woods Reserve.

You get very different colors when the mallards are in the sun. Love these photos.

Another Couple

I guess love is in the air. Little ducks soon ..

Have you ever seen the blue in the wings of the male Blue-winged Teal. It is beautiful, but you can't see it in this photo.

Trumpets

I was surprised to see these two Trumpeter Swans hanging out in the Miami River. We thogut we saw them a few days ago when were were driving over the river on our way home one day. They are beautiful.

If you have a few minutes, listen to this podcast about swans.

The Family

I photographed this family a few months ago and forgot to share it. By now the young geese are much bigger and flying.
