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.

It still looks quite chilly and grey over there...hope spring has arrived there by now. Fog has actually given those pictures a mysterious look. Happy Saturday!
Good morning, dear Blogfriend Eileen. You had a lovely walk by the lake. The variety of waterbirds is impressive. They are beautiful creatures that you were able to spot.
Thank you for sharing and for hosting. Greetings by Heidrun ❤️
Wonderful creatures and information Eileen, these days I also photographed many creatures, ducks, herons, pelicans and horses!! So I will provide a link!!
You are lucky to live in an area where you can easily meet natural landscapes and wildlife. That's a good enjoyment.
I wish you many successful walks and many beautiful days in the nature!
Happy weekend too! 🌈
Spring migration hasn’t quite started here, but we are waiting anxiously for more species to fly through our area.
Humans flying to the moon? We went farther than the birds.
Good morning dear Eileen - the weather on your pics was not the best it seems. Nice pics of the ducks in the water. Have a good time and all the best

Hello Eileen,
This is a great series of photos and collages.
I’ve already used the Merlin Bird app again, there are so many bird sounds to hear right now.
Photos 8 and 9 are my favorites this time.
I wish you a very good weekend.
All the best, Irma

it may be tricky for photography in general, but the misty air lends an air of mystery and magic to the atmosphere of these shots! I think spotting the Grebe was surely a highlight. YAM xx
