The white fronted geese at Squaw Creek were very shy. If we slowed down to take a picture, they'd fly off. The other ducks, herons, egrets wondered why they were flying and flew too! It was frustrating, but you had to laugh!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627287902591490601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-53126078343015526542008-10-16T09:17:00.000-04:002008-10-16T09:17:00.000-04:00Those are great pictures Ruth!

I saw my first last year at this time near the Grand. <BR/><BR/>NCMW- I like to walk so the big lens is out for me!<BR/><BR/>Lynne- Thanks...I liked the duk butt too. ;-)<BR/><BR/>RW- I am no bird expert and fall birds are most confusing.

Our Lake O down here, in the Everglades, Lake Okeechobee, was low, but recently rebounded 5 feet in the wake of water from Fay.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989947946488835186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-87678251795741309962008-10-15T10:36:00.000-04:002008-10-15T10:36:00.000-04:00Thank you for your very thoughtful comment on my p...Thank you for your very thoughtful comment on my poverty post...<BR/><BR/>I have to get up to this area as I have said it is so close to where I live. I hope you won't mind, but the photo that you have as a female wood duck is I think a young male. The white stripe on the cheek as the female has a white patch on her neck. Your duck has a red iris and no white patch around the eye as a female has.Rambling Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080120317890707767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-34747276773751030382008-10-15T09:13:00.000-04:002008-10-15T09:13:00.000-04:00I think your photos are wonderful.There's somethin...I think your photos are wonderful.<BR/>There's something about duck butt pix that makes me smile.Lynne at Hasty Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187035706322695138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-81204933251163881662008-10-15T09:03:00.000-04:002008-10-15T09:03:00.000-04:00What a fun place to visit.

Birding is one thing, but finding the spots and hitting them at the right time is also important. I saw my first yellow-rumped warbler this week. My list is growing slowly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-54500583704394465302008-10-15T06:29:00.000-04:002008-10-15T06:29:00.000-04:00Your photo of the Wood Duck is just as lovely as t...Your photo of the Wood Duck is just as lovely as the "big lens" shot Ruth! :c)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.com
