While, I was at the doctors with my daughter. As we viewed the mama duck with babies. We also spied other birds in and near the water.

(Edited to add link for those who wish to see the orginal bird pictures without frames or cropping. They have not been uploaded to any group. As there to many and I did not want to upset an group owners. Here's the link: Orginal bird pic album)

Here are there pictures :

If that was from another bird......than that is a big bird I don't want to run in to. And to answer your question...No I never noticed that. Otherwise I would of cropped it out of the pictures.

Thank you. I have been wanting to bring my camera to get pictures for some time now. During different times of the year there is alot more ducks there. I mean so many that if you walk out to your vehicle the ducks will come up to you.

That first bird may be a tri-color heron, not sure. The ibis and beautiful, you sure have a lot of them in your area. I only see them here when I go to the state parks and occasionally in the area.

Thanks so much for posting this to
my group

Those are all over my area of Florida. You see them everywhere. They are as common to see as those blackbirds you try to shoo out of corn fields.

I edited this photo essay to add the link so members can see the original bird pictures. I did not upload any of them to a group. As there were to many and I did not want to upset any group owners. The pics were added to the photo album original bird pics.
