Wednesday's ride in the car to Lake of the Lilies,
revealed that most of our "over winter" ducks have left!
I only saw one Killdeer.
Which I find unusual, in the past, I have always seen them in small groups of 2 or 3.
A "walk in the park", notice the cute curled leg, it was walking not standing!
There were a few cute Mallards nearby in the water.
Then there is always that one who's been "fooling around" and cannot be identified...
We'll call this one "the one"!

Hello, I guess it really is Spring of the ducks have left. I just love the sweet Killdeer. They are so cute.
Great captures of the ducks. Thanks for linking up and sharing your post. Stay safe, healthy and happy! Enjoy your day, happy weekend. PS, thanks so much for your visit and comment.
The winter ducks may be gone, but you got some awesome Killdeer photos! Love the bill drizzle on the mallard!
Nice photos. The killdeer is a really cool looking bird.
It sure is pretty at the entrance with the Spring flowers. Love those ducks and the Killdeer! You got clear and perfect photos. Hope you are well and able to stay home my friend. Take care of yourself! Sweet hugs, Diane
Love all the pretty pictures! Especially the "green headed ducks"...ha ha ha LOL! they are so pretty, my favorites. Well, I like swans too, and many others. Love that shot of the mallard with water dripping down.....very pretty. Getting outside sure helps for sure. Our walking is becoming very restricted....way too many folks out, desperate to get outside and increasing the numbers, in the city. Our state parks and county parks have closed.....they are closing our beaches.....dang!! We will still take drives as we have been doing. It's good to get out even for a short or long drive. Take care of yourself!! (ps...liked reading about the bread making too...it sure looked delicious!)
Those Mallards are stunning.
That killdeer is a handsome one, isn’t it! You captured the colours of the mallards beautifully.
Great pictures Debbie!
Those are beautiful pictures!
Brilliant photos of the wader and the Mallard Debbie. They are in their best finery nowadays for breeding.
Hello. Wonderful photos. The killdeer is beautiful.
In the last photo is common mallard. It has been given a wrong nutrition (humans food: bread etc.), when it was young. It’s White feathers break easily.
The killdeer is so sweet. All the birds are ...it’s good to get outside! Always, but especially now.
These photos are astounding! You always get the best bird photos ever. I still think you should publish a book.
Sending love and hugs your way today!
