Do you know of any other avian species that generates so much aural pollution?

I came away with some nice shots, and also got lucky with the weather on Friday to watch some Ducks On Ice at the wetlands. I hope that next year this time I will find you well and still eager to amuse us with your blog.Andienoreply@blogger.com
