this was a great day for birdwatching ........ I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this duck in our pond .... I was getting ready to take the dogs for a walk and happened to look out the cabin window and saw this beautiful sight ........ so glad I looked first as they would have flown off if the dogs got out first .......... I ran off a couple of shots and watched for awhile and then the dogs finally got there walk ......
there were four of them but one flew away before I could get the camera to the window ....... I got a couple of good pics of three ..2 males and one female .......... I couldn't ID them at first they are not listed for my area ........ I must have caught them in migration ......
