1. Hubby and I went out for a walk, we decided to drive by the Friendly Farms Ponds to see if there were some ducks.  I saw a few Bufflehead and there were more Ring-necked Ducks seen below in the mosaic. 

2. Below are a few Bufflehead, they have white below and a white patch on their heads with black on the back. 

3. Below are some Ring-necked Ducks with a male Bufflehead. 

These ducks are the Ring-necked Ducks. They have white ring on the bill. 

4. These images are from our 2 miles roundtrip hike to the Prettyboy lake. I  could hear the Canada Geese soon after we started walking. I was surprised to see a large flock of Tundra Swans, various ducks and a Horned Grebe. 

My Merlin App captured birds along the fire road to the lake. 

5.There was a layer of fog hanging right above the water.  

6. The largest count of birds were the Canada Geese, they were spread out all around the lake shore and on the lake.  

7. The fog was not the greatest for taking photos of the lake, the geese and swans. 

8. A pair of Bald Eagles were sitting in their usual tree above the water.  

Below are large groups of Canada Geese and Tundra Swans. 

 

On the lake I found a Horned Grebe.

We drove around the lake stopping at the dam and I found a small group of Common Mergansers.  The Males are a pretty white bottom with a green head.
