Waterbirds..



Mallard I'm assuming, even though not showing the recognizable white collar; maybe females?


Pacific Black Duck

Pied Oystercatcher

  6. Love the close up photos you captured so beautifully. One does not get to see birds up close like this very often. Especially like your Australasian Grebe photo! Amazing! Very cool swirls in the water! Thanks for sharing!

  11. Those Oyster-Catchers have such looong ... beaks. I guess all the better for fossicking for tasty morsels in the shallows.

  13. love the teal and the grebe especially. For some reason the teal reminds me a bit of a loon. I do love loons and used to hear them all of the time when I was a kid and we had a cabin on a minnesota lake. Maybe it is the red eyes. Do you have loons in Australia?

  14. ,,Jeanne, not that I'm aware of, no loons in Australia

  23. I think is amazing birds that swim... Amazing how the feathers aren't soaked with water. Nature is marvelous and perfect!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
