bird-watching at Eisenhower Park

 Man-made lake attracts all sorts of waterfowl.  I usually see ducks and geese.  But sometimes there are other birds, too.

This time around, I saw Canadian geese and a pair of double-crested cormorant -- sea birds taking a break in a freshwater pond.









 There was one duck, just one.  A female mallard, I think.








 The geese wanted to swim, too.

  1. People would be amazed at the variety of wildlife in urban areas. Those Canada geese, though - they've taken over parks where I live upstate. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  2. Canadian geese are huge! There were some nearby a couple months ago. I've never seen a cormorant before, though.

  3. The geese are local, they don't migrate. But we also get migratory geese, so in the spring and fall we see a lot ...cormorants are interesting. They're different from other waterfowl. After they swim they have to find a place to spread their wings so they can dry off.
