Humor for the day - Jane was carrying a ukulele when her friend Jill asked her what she had. Jane said she got the ukulele for her husband. Jill replied by saying she thought it was a good trade.

Just found your blog today. Good stuff. Keep it up!
I'm not so great on waterfowl, but I'm learning. Great pics. I'll be back.
A very interesting bird. I can see why it would be mistaken for a duck by some. The beak is very different though.
Hi- I have chosen this blog as one of the 20 Charter Inductees into a Favorite Nature Blog feed. I've been building it over the last few days, and plan to start promoting it tomorrow. See http://favoritenatureblogs.blogspot.com/
Over the next few months I would like to "interview" each of the bloggers, and do one post on each person.
Hoping that this will bring a little more traffic your way.
