We are so fortunate to have such a wide variety of wildlife literally in our backyard. Some have their seasons, while others are residents who call our lakes home. We have many different types of water fowl we see see on a regular basis too.
Our mallards are residents whom we see on most days.


Aside from our beautiful mallards, we also have many other kinds of ducks too. Sometimes we see them, sometimes we don’t. Often they are all together and other times they like to be by themselves.
Some of our other ducks include Common Golden-eyes;


Wood Ducks;


Hooded Merganzers;


and sometimes we see Northern Shovelers too.


These are just a small sampling of the beautiful ducks and water fowl we see here on our lakes. I always have my camera ready because I just never know who I am going to see.
Lots of ducks on WordPress blogs of late. They’re a beautiful creature.

His fish book is for recognizing what he catches.

Oh sure! As far as I am concerned, if it has scales and fins, it’s kosher and on the grill it goes. But The Boss has to know!

Thanks for sharing those amazing photos. If I lived by that lake I could sit and watch the ducks all day.
