Thanks, Suzy -- they are pretty cool, aren't they?!

Look at that grand hood!

Thank you, Ank, for your nice comment!

Great photo of a beautiful merganser. Thanks Patti for let us enjoy.

Funny about Snoopy, you guys!
Thanks, Celeste!

Cool picture i too thought at first in the small picture it was snoopy :) giggles..

Thanks, RH. Yes, -- a duck. :)

What a handsome waterfowl. A duck? I incorrectly identified one that Schutkleur as a duck and it was a coot. ; )

Thank you, Loveydear, Jacques, Chickie, Lyndee, and Colin. I appreciate all your comments. :)

Handsome fella! We have them on the river now. I enjoy watching the hens with their chicks (sometimes hitching a ride!). Thanks, Patti.

Funny thing, I thought it look like snoopy out there!!!! Great shot PLG.

What a nice shot PLG. Thanks.

Interesting looking bird!
