Migratory Ducks

Migratory ducks like to stop off on our lake on their way to the northern U.S. or southern Canada. They normally are here for a day or two and then leave the lake to their next stop on their way north, We have found that migratory ducks like to migrate away from the dam or shoreline when we approach them to take a picture. Some of the time we are able to get pictures before they get too far away, but in a lot of the instances their rear ends are about all we get in the picture. In other cases, they are too far away to see any details of of their color, size, and other distinguishing features which makes photography impractical. However, we are able to get some pictures of these ducks and other birds to share with those who are observing this site. You can left click on each picture to enlarge it to the full screen of your computer monitor which will help the make the features more discernible.

Looks like you had an enjoyable Easter watching the ducks on your lake.
Chandler and I checked them all out together.
