While walking the dog this morning I noticed birds at a pond near our home. The dog's walk got cut short so I could go back and get the camera. For such a tiny pond it had lots of visitors.

There was a Snowy Egret as well as a Great Egret, whose reflected beauty caught my eye. Then there was a cormorant drying his wings off after a dive, and several common mergansers who wouldn't let me get very close, and an even shyer pied-billed grebe. Of course there were mallards and muscovies. Lastly a duck's profile .
