The first ones we saw were the American Black Ducks, squabbling and showing off.

| "Don't crowd me, pal!" |

| "Look, ladies!" |
And a lone American Black Duck, ducking for food. Is that why they call them ducks?
 |
| "Yum!" |
Then we saw the Northern Pintails, hanging out with the Snow Geese and constantly foraging for food.
Then, a first for me, Hooded Mergansers, male and female.
Of course there were Mallards.
Finally, as we were leaving, Mute Swans.
So many birds! I took over 500 pictures in order to get maybe 20 or so that I thought were good. That's the beauty of digital. You can just delete the ones that are out of focus, wrongly exposed, blurry, or that you don't like.
Love my birdies!
