The Egyptian Geese have been my favorite birds to watch at the park. I appreciate being able to put a name to them now. The cormorant pictures were interesting to me. Some days there are dozens of them sunning themselves and swimming around while other days I can't find a single one. This is one of the busy days. The bird that is swimming caught my eye. It has tufts of white feathers on the side of its head behind its "ears".
There are several ruddy ducks swimming around. They are hard to catch with the camera. They seem to dive under water more often than they swim on the surface. I did get a picture of one, though it isn't very close. I'm not certain I will be able to catch the grackles that are making such a racket the last few days. I just caught a glimpse of one the other day but I sure know they are there. They almost make more noise than the geese.
