HEY--Nothing Ordinary About this Day at the Lake

Marcel has nothing on me....everyone is after my attention...at least at Oak Grove Lake.    I have seen some cool birds there like the ring neck duck, gr. blue heron, the green heron, the spotted sandpiper, the kingfisher and of course the ducks and geese are always fun to watch. Its fun to find the ordinary waterfowl going about normal life---Here's how it went down---just an ordinary goose but geeze look at this--



"Hey Sondra, look at this pose, its blast off goose!!!"




"Hey Sondra, bet you wish you looked this good!"



"Hey Sondra, wanna a good head shot?"



"Hey Sondra, are you stallking me?"


Talk about chivalry...this male was taking his role of protector to extreme limits...he is the mate in shinning armor while she sits on their eggs on that small island...nobody got close-- he allowed the pied billed grebe to swim by that was it!!





"Hey Sondra, you got this?"
Here she is sitting on the nest..sssshh and over there is my buddy the Muscovy Duckling that I've watched grow up he is becoming quite handsome..This summer he will be one yr old!





                                

                              
 "Hey Marcel,  you got nothing on me!!!"~

    Grammy I knew you meant Rock--Ive wished many times these comment boxes had an edit feature!!
    and Marcel is a commercial on TV, its kinda silly but it always makes me laugh--all these people are trying to get his attention..so they shout "HEY MARCEL" it is funny--in a tv commercial kinda way...

    Cyndi, IT seems they show that commercial a lot..I see it everytime I watch TV! I like it when the weather girl says "Marcel, are you listening to me?" lol

    Amila--thanks for your comment sometimes I think to myself "oh its just ducks n geese" but then I realize its never JUST ducks n geese its what they DO that really shows off their life in the photo!

    Barbara you are probably RIGHT..I know this Muscovy Duckling had a Muscovy Mother..he is probably a hybrid?--he's unique!!

    Diana I thought of your cowboy butt shots...lol this is not quite as hot~but there were no cowboys around... LOL
