Really nice ERHP!I spent some time down observing the behaviors of a local population of wintering Redhead ducks. Some interesting things were the minor territorial squabbles as the tide rose and their sandbar(and mine) started to go away. This shot is of a drake, who paused briefly mid waddle to look at me before heading into the water with the rest of the ~200 ducks. As this is part of a much larger park, we have 'ice cream vendors' pushing their carts several hundred feet away and apparently the ducks don't care for the music.

I love these birds and they were in my wish list last summer in Europe! Didn't see one!

Cormorant plus fish today. There's a large colony on the lake and I don't how there enough fish in it to feed them.

About a dozen or more on not a large lake. And they are voracious feeders.Great shot Alan - how many is in this colony do you think?

Had a barred owl visit yesterday evening to squirrel hunt. Should have used a higher ISO as quite a few shots weren't perfectly sharp.
