There are two small lakes in the center of my town, close to where we live now.
So we drive down and visit the abundant and varied waterfowl.
I think the larger birds in the front of the above photo are geese but I'm no Audubon so I can't be sure.
This guy, in his dress-up white suit surely must be a goose, mustn't he?
Meanwhile up at the upper, smaller pond, many of the birds seemed to prefer dry land to the water on this chilly day.

The lakes supposedly are stocked with Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Sunfish, Bluegill, Channel Catfish and White Amur and from time to time we see hopeful anglers trying their luck.
For we old retirees with time on our hands it's a nice place to spend some time communing with nature.
Oh my. I love seeing waterfowl. We lived along the Mississippi River and the water fowl were beautiful. In the fall after the corn harvest, the Canadian geese zoomed in on that one.
ReplyDeleteI see Canadian Geese, Mallards, Coots, and another duck I don't know.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the birds have found the place to be.
ReplyDeleteFain Park or Lynx Lake? I envy you enjoying all around us. Always way too busy!
ReplyDeleteNeither one. Yavapai Lake.
DeleteWe both had ducks on our minds today. It's relaxing watching them interact with each other.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of quackers.
ReplyDeleteI can see the appeal.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice little lakes! We just have a small pond, but even that is a great place to go.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post. It takes me back many a year to the Slimbridge Wild Fowl Trust in England, where I was surrounded by a massive flock of Hawaiian geese, which I was feeding. Such gentle birds...
ReplyDeleteThis post is just ducky :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see the geese and ducks there.
ReplyDeleteWe get lots of geese and ducks around here especially on the river that flows through the city. I always feel a chill when I see them sitting on the icy water!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, so many of them. Neato.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing ducks but am scared of geese after being chased by a particularly aggressive one.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, your ducks and geese are pretty much the same as the ones we have here!
