Nice pics :thumbup

Good shot on that lesser scaup. Very distinct details on the feather and color are amazingly captured :thumbup

It gives me the chills though for some odd reason----it seems scary looking to me

That bird isn't scary. If it were a toy the kids would love it. It's very fluffy looking.

very good photos i like the second more maybe because you can see the beautiful colours the bird got on this photo.

Love the second one

So that's what they are doing when they do that (2nd picture). I have a pic like that and wondered what it was all about. Plus another pic with the bird seemingly looking straight up and sometimes (I think, from memory) making a noise - keeping its head up all the time.

I guess @ initial glance - the contrast of that yellow-colored eye ( juz staring at you) over that dark black makes it appear scary looking ( that's juz me of course :24: )

You're right it's so fluffy looking. It must have soft feathers :nod:

Not all but most birds sleep with their head tucked into their wing. If you watch them long enough you'll see them pop an eye open, have a look around and close it again when they feel safe.
