The mallards for instance are very common in the parks with us. I like to see the variety, and amongst them a number or really beautiful species, like the merganser and woodduck.<br />Greetings, KeesKees van Dommelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937232281857503609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-15039781417179532382018-02-18T11:58:07.466-05:002018-02-18T11:58:07.466-05:00Great that makes sense!

They are extraordinary with their emerald green heads.

You left such a nice comment on my Valentine's Day post, I was smiling big and still am.<br /><br />I'm so impressed by your beautiful bird photos. As cold as it is in Michigan, it looks colder there! I saw my first merganser up in northern Michigan over the summer and I loved it so, so I was really excited to see such wonderful photos here. <br /><br />I love your beautiful country and we are hoping to get to the Waterloo region this spring to do a little bit of family history digging. Who knows? Perhaps you will have a walk when we are there!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-11141287796808125692018-02-14T20:46:31.890-05:002018-02-14T20:46:31.890-05:00Your opinion is shared by others, Hernán.Your opinion is shared by others, Hernán.David M.

The population is steadily rising and I hope that soon wild birds will establish breeding territories in other locations where they will not be tagged. In fact, even now, I do see a few birds without their yellow "stickers"as a child described them!David M.
