A couple of wonderful finds for me yesterday while bird watching through the windshield of my car were Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Merganser ducks! Both were a surprise for me!
Earlier this week while out looking for ducks in my regular daily checks, instead of ducks I found a small flock of Canada’s Geese.

Hopefully in the upcoming days I will be able to get a god picture of a pair of these ducks. Yesterday afternoon I did my rounds of my usual duck sighting locations at ponds and the river I go to daily, and I found none. However, on my way home I decided to check out my communitiy's local lagoon as I had noticed a few days ago that it now had open waters and glad am I that I did!!! Yes, I saw a pair of ducks on the water there. From the distance I could not visually identify them, so I got out of my car and walked to the gate enclosure and held my camera to the opening gap giving me a view of the two ducks on the water. My Nikon slr camera picked up the images and thankfully for photo editing, which allowed me to edit a clear view of a male Common Goldeneye! What a beautiful sight it was. I could kind of slightly id the female as well, but it was not a very clear photo capture.
