Visitors to our lake
Dec 9, 2021 11:47:43 #
Just before we left to visit the grandchildren, I went to our local lake to check on migration. The attached set is composed of shots of visitors to our lake.
I have numbered the shots and would appreciate identification (or correction of identification) of the various birds.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks, I guess that should have been obvious.

I think last ones were Mallards 🦆 👍👍😊😊
Thanks, Susan. They have different coloration than our mallards, but there are probably variations within the mallard family.

Great shots of the birds, Mike. The first one looks like a brant, also known as a lesser Canada goose. The second one appears to be an actual Canada goose. The neck looks longer and the head is shaped a bit differently.

Nice set. Looks like you got the help you needed with the IDs so I won't chime in.

Another expertly taken series. Looking at all of the ducks makes me wonder why Donald Duck wears a jacket but does not wear pants. I guess that it's one of those mysteries that we will never know the answer to.
