Saturday's Critters #418

  I interrupt all the Christmas fun I have been sharing, to take you outside for a spin around 
Lake of the Lilies

First up was a game of peek-a-poo with a Mute Swan, 
I could not be more certain that this swan was having as much fun as I was.





These Mergansers were having "swim offs" with each other...
the boys were definitely beating the girls.

Ruddy Duck photo bomb.

Two girls, one top up, one top down.




The Mallards were sleeping, until they saw our car pull up.


Good thing the hubs always makes sure we have food for the ducks in the car!

    Beautiful! This lake has such blue water and it makes an awesome background for the swan and mergansers. I've never been able to get that close to mergansers, even with a long lens.

And I LOVE THAT PICURE OF THE resting duck with his head side ways.....the colors/patterns of the feathers are amazing, love seeing those, You captured all the birds so great, even the lil babies playing around. It's warm here....so going outside today.

    On I love how the swan is playing peekaboo. Too cute. I thought the other bird photos were so fun too. The Mergansers are adorable. Of course, I always love the Mallard photos. The best is your husband feeding them. I love how you love your feathered friends.
    Sending loving thoughts on this one!
