Had a wonderful surprise tonight. We usually only see one or two pairs of Black Bellied Whistling Ducks. Had a flock tonight. Past sunset tried the flash and did not scare them away. No PP on these ON1 software on office PC.

I really liked the last 2 - lighting was perfect, IMO. Can you believe the nerve of that GBH, though? Maybe he just thinks he's a duck.

I think it is a Tri-color Heron, or a lesser Blue Heron, too small for a GBH. He had lots of fry to chase, the next door neighbor puts out cracked corn for the ducks and throws Turtle Chow in the pond and the fry come up to nibble.
