There was much preening and fluffing of feathers amongst this group of Pacific Black Ducks as they prepared themselves for the photo shoot :) the iridescent speculum and bright blue beaks were star features. The goose below looks as if he/she is testing the temperature of the water, deciding perhaps he/she might fly instead of swim! Taken in Neil Hawkins Park. Busy day in the jungle yesterday, catch up today.. Bon Weekend, take care and stay safe...
I particularly like that goose, Grace! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful color and feathers!
ReplyDeleteThey wanted to look their best for the camera!
ReplyDeleteOh, they're beautiful and what terrific captures, Grace!! I love them!! Hope all of you -- ducks and goose included have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of the days when Collin was a little boy. Mom and I used to take him to the park near our house to feed the ducks there.

ReplyDeleteLovely bird shots Grace, those ducks look so pretty with those blue feathers...
ReplyDeleteThose colors on the wings. Not from this earth by looking at it. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photos you made of the ducks Grace. They have such bright colours blue we never see here. The males have some colours but not so clear and de females are always brown.
ReplyDeleteThe goose seems to say : "Brrrr ! No, it is too cold... Come on, sun, warm it up, please !"
ReplyDeleteThe first picture with the ducks is amazing, technically speaking... You aced it : the color bands on the ducks looks stunning.
Beautiful shots! The colors are amazing in the top photo!
