The game, Billiards, as I know it, is played on a table without pockets, and with three balls: one is red, one is white, and one is white with a black dot. The object of the game is to strike the other two balls with one shot of your object ball (either of the white balls as chosen at the start of the game). The good shooters play Three Cushion Billiards-- in which the object ball must strike three cushions between the shot and the second hit. In the movie "The Hustler", the game is briefly shown in the scene where Eddie Felson takes on a rich guy following the Kentucky Derby.
The game most familiar to us as Pool is Pocket Billiards. Snooker is on a much larger table with smaller pockets and balls, and that's all I know about it.

I used to play golf at Riveridge in Eugene, OR, which was host to gaggles of geese, Canada Geese. These magnificent creatures owned the place and left their enormous turds every where as stakes to that claim. One morning we were astonished to find about a dozen of them in a large tree. They seemed quite at home, moving from branch to branch and to the ground and back into the tree. I witnessed this just once and until now, wondered if I was, or the geese were confused.
I can't help you identify the waterfowl in your post, but am very grateful to you for reassuring me as to my sanity in remembering this long ago incident.

No competition. Just a lovely composition with classical elements---beautifully photographed.

D5300 Nikon USA body with Nikon strap, two batteries, charger and connector cable. No lens. Shutter count below 1300. I believe KEH would grade this excellent +, would pay about $223.00 for it and ask about $432.00 for it. I'm selling it because I have two, need only one, and am trying to simplify what remains of a very long life.

Opening bid is my one and only bid in the amount of $223.00. Bid increments in dollars only, and must be made as replies to this post----NO PM BIDS.* Auction will end at 12 noon eastern time on Sunday, Feb. 19, 2017, at which time the winners name and sale amount will be posted.
*PM bids not wanted because they don't become part of this thread ---unless I report them.

Payment: money order, cashiers check, Walmart money transfer, personal check or cash if you're nearby. No Paypal. If a personal check, I reserve the right to defer shipping until check clears.

Shipping: Shipping by Fedex Ground within CONUSA at my expense. Purchaser pays for anything else.

Guarantee: Within 180 days of delivery, I'll reimburse purchaser for expense of repair to a Nikon Service Center for malfunction due to manufacturing or assembly flaw, evidenced by a copy of all associated paper work. Should I "croak", my executor will honor this. No other guarantee.

Plug: The D5000 series are superb cameras. Their fully articulated monitors aren't available on any other Nikon DSLRs at this time------for me, a deal breaker on all others.
