Fun neighbors Eileen. I always love how the Anhingas like to spread out their wings to dry.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely birds you have in your area! Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have seen a lot of birds on your trip and that shot of the Osprey is wonderful Eileen Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend
ReplyDeleteI think the Purple Gallinule is like our Pukeko. Iridescent feathers, a strutting walk, and it likes the swampy areas. What a huge variety you see.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of ducks and birds. It a joy to feed these ducks and birds. Great shot of the one with spread out wings. Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images! Have a lovely day!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad (and a tad envious) that you are finding so many birds already around your new winter home. hope we'll be as fortunate when we get there in December.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is number two. Looks like he's out for a walk. : )
ReplyDeleteI'd never get anything done looking at the view and the birds! The Whistling Ducks are ducks I admire from afar, I love their expressions!
ReplyDeleteI wonder just what all Ihave missed! I bet a lot...you always have great photos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, Eileen! I love seeing all the wildlife, especially the ones I've never seen before. I hope to join in one of these days if I ever get my "ducks" in a row. Take care and have a nice Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a variety of shots!
ReplyDeleteWe birders appreciate your participation this weekend at I'd Rather B Birdin'!!! Thanks for sharing this Eileen!!!
