My name is Pat and I live in Florida. My skin will never be smooth again and my hair will never see color. I enjoy collecting autographs and playing in Paint Shop Pro.,along with reading and writing. Sometimes, I enjoy myself by doing volunteer "work" helping celebrities at autograph shows. I love animals and at one time I did volunteer work for Tippi Hedren's Shambala Preserve.
Finally! A bird I know ! A Duck!... don't ask what kind ..sheesh.
..but she is a Mama !

the little color swatch on her side there tells me mallard. quack!
nice shot!
ahh it's DAD eh? lol thanks Pam!
Nope, you were right, that's the mama. :) Daddy mallards are darker on their bodies, but have beautiful green heads. You have some great wildlife there! :)
It's funny, we have mallards around here and I can certainly recognize the male but I can't honestly say I've ever noticed that beautiful blue color on the hens. And the babies are the cutest! I love watching mamas and babies this time of year.

hi Asara!..ummm whelp.. i think it safe to just say "ducks" lol..
cj: yeah, any animals with babies are neat to watch..
Hi! :)
I agree. We had some baby birds outside our house too this spring.. my sister-in-law was able to identify what kind just by the way the nest was put together. I boggled.
Our grandson's favourite bird, he loves to go and see them in the park. They are pretty cute I have to say.
Ducks! Aren't they gorgeous (when they're brown)? ^-^ You have such amazing wildlife near your home, Pat...
I know ducks aren't terribly exotic creatures, as far as that goes, but pretty.
Cath: I do love their fuzzy babies.
Shanra: Oh I like ducks.. these seem to have wandered off though I was hoping they would stay
ps. mallard (mallard female)
