Birds(Waterfowl) in California

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

Birds(Waterfowl) in California

Post by 357 S&W » Thu Nov 10, 2011 1:38 am

Friends,
I wanted to share some pictures of the ducks and geese in the area, this is not my camera but my family who was visiting me for the weekend; took them around and thought would share the pictures with you all.
If you like the pictures I will post more of them as I have a bunch to share but will not do so; if I do not get much replies, as it is hard to post the pictures here as it takes time to shrink and post them( you know what I mean, :) )
:cheers:

They're just great. One can never have too many photos of wildlife.
Post more if you have them.

Here are two Honkers (Giant Canada Geese) in Minnesota.

Thank you, Doc. Sure, you can hunt these birds, as a matter of fact, this is the waterfowl hunting season.

We have lots of huge ponds and lakes in Tamil Nadu, but I have never seen a duck, except for a few pelicans, storks and the omnipresent cormorants.
