Another day at the pond (photos)

[Tom Wilson]

Here's some from today... Yeah, I know it looks just like the last time I posted photos from the pond, but it's an uncontrollable disease for me, so I make no apologies for good Mallard pics... Hope you like em'...

Good work, how many did you have to delete? I agree 100% about the "uncontrollable disease" comment! It takes alot of time to go through hundreds of pictures, post production time and uploading to get to this finished product... I truly appreciate your work as well as a few others on this site.

You, Hobby and myself need to hook up, I'll shoot you guys an e-mail and check with your schedules.

Merry Christmas gang!

Heres some cloudy weather pics from "the pond" the day I was out with Hobbydog! Also, what type of goose is this??

You guys and your crossed-up domestic ducks and geese...lol! Boy, these could be a combo of a lot of things and your guess would be as good as mine as to which breeds these might include. Here's a HSOforum you can look at:

My guess would be Toulouse, Embden and a hint of Chinese or African but it's been a long while since we had any of these big brutes. The one's with the bumps on top of their noggins are or have some crested goose in them. The males are more white. Very nice pics!
