So they aren't mallards and they aren't loons. Did your North American bird book say what they are? They don't look like wood ducks, either.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-56793560740661752752009-02-25T00:31:00.000-05:002009-02-25T00:31:00.000-05:00Bindu, and relaxing breathing in the mountain air ...Bindu, and relaxing breathing in the mountain air filled with pine scent.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-60586393910106182302009-02-24T21:21:00.000-05:002009-02-24T21:21:00.000-05:00That's such a dreamy picture!

Mallards have large areas of grey over their bodies: full wings, chest and tail feathers with a bright green head. Loons have a checker pattern from neck to back. These just have their white stripe over their wings.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-47025991310065749242009-02-24T13:35:00.000-05:002009-02-24T13:35:00.000-05:00I love the picture, Barbara.
