Bird Photo Shoot

Yesterday, I decided too go take some photos. I was inspired by Hillary's posts on the goslings and wanted some of my own shots of some Spring life. Here is what I found. Ok. No goslings so far.... But an egg is a good start.
Aw! There they are.
This picture shows that there are 7 goslings. Then I found a pair of mallards.
I believe this is a Blue-Winged Teal.This is the Hooded Merganser. I was so excited to finally get a photo of one. This was as close as I could get though...I believe this is a Great White Heron.I believe this is called the Common Grackle. I thought the photo turned out pretty cool. The iridescent blue/teal head is neat.I am not sure what bird this is just yet. If you have any clues let me know. I could not get it in focus just right but I still thought the photo turned out kind of cool.
That is all for now.

Those are great bird photos. I can't believe that you found a goose egg! I can't really tell what the yellow bird it, Alan couldn't be sure, either.

Very nice photos. I have to agree with Sara that you are very tallented. I was surprised to see a large family of geese. Or is our goose family on the small side? The egg picture was cool. We never saw eggs.
