About the Image(s)

When we used to have water in our pond most of the year, we had mergansers, wood ducks, mallards, turtles and Canada geese. The last few years have been uncomfortably dry. These chicks cracked me up.

Leslie,

The Mergansers are in unison getting a little sunshine. The reflection in the water helps the topic.   Posted: 12/01/2025 14:48:34

Leslie, these chicks are just adorable and their coloring is beautiful. Great non distracting background and the reflection makes the image extremely interesting. This is one you should put on your wall. Very striking!   Posted: 12/04/2025 23:58:01

my walls are already crowded with birdies. I've framed many.   Posted: 12/10/2025 03:42:56

What lovely little creatures!! I like that one of them is cleaning itself. The colour of the wood they are sitting on compliments their colours.
Beautiful!!   Posted: 12/11/2025 16:33:14
