Great Egret - High Park at Grenadier Pond

They are domestic Saxony ducks.  There was a third but he perished last September. They are ultra friendly, always together and don't fly.

i took a video of the Saxoney ducks a few years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYJzZPsQ0_8

i also got a great capture of my favorite, who must be the one that perished as i haven't seen her in a long, long time...

Angelicque, there is a member on here - veganbonnie - she has lovely pictures of the large domestic duck that perished at

I think, but am not sure, that the picture of your white duck is the same one.  At any rate, those three large ducks are beautiful as is the picture you took.

that would be the very same family i have been following

in 2006, there were 4 of them - the white domestic, the two mallard male crosses (although now i am sure one of the males is a saxony), and the mallard female cross. the mallard female cross was my favorite
she disappeared in 2007, sadly

the white domestic, i am assuming, must be the one that perished last september...that is really too bad. they made such a lovely (and friendly!) family...
hopefully the two males stick around for a while!

i found her flickr, and i see that it was my favorite that passed away this year. i thought she passed a few years ago. she was such a beautiful bird...
