Cliff,
Your photos really bring these wonderful birds to everyone. I was
thrilled also to see on your Huntley Meadows link, for
who can resist a trip to Huntley even vicariously, the barred owl. This
photo is special for those of us who have listened to the barred owl;
even more than two unusual sisters in law, I have heard their screech in
the weather changes in the afternoons there.
Did anyone have the thought that the hybrid duck was as large as and
had coloration of possibly a goose?
Thanks also for the trip to Winnepesaukee as our family spent many
weekends and holidays at that beautiful location.

I've got a pictures of the Red-necked Grebe and Kurt's mutants on my
site. http://www.speakeasy.org/~bb-etc/
Go to Birds, then Virginia. This site is designed for new-version
browsers (IE6, NS7), so it may not work as intended with older ones. If
you hold your mouse over a button, you should see a thumbnail image or a
text description below the buttons, and clicking on a button will launch
a larger version of the image.
The Grebe was out in the middle of the pond and is an extreme crop from
the original, so it is not as sharp as some other of my photographs, but
it isn't too bad.
The heads of the mutants are of an iridescent greenish hue in the
sunlight, something that really does not show up in my photograph. I
suspect they are hybrid Mallards (domestic ?).
