What Bird Is That Forum

For when you have a hard time deciding over your best/favorite bird of the week photos.


Editted for more appropriate wording.

A few extra Mallard shots that made choosing a favourite a tough choice.

Here's a female Mallard that paired up with an American Wigeon drake. The second picture is the resultant off spring.

Snowing again so added a few more - the second last one has a drake plumaged hen, a Mallard x Black Duck hybrid (MBDH) and a hen.
The first three were about 2.5MB each and reached the post limit so I will use smaller files in future.

Could not fit these in the prior post.

Couldn't decide between the posted "species of the week" and this one. I think I prefer this one.

So many shot of the Resident GBH at the Ft Worth Japanese Garden

Very windy day!!

I had a hard time deciding on a favourite photo this week so I went with the newer of two long time favourites. This is the older photo of a White-breasted Nuthatch from March of 2013.
