Can you spot the third wood duckn this photo? Not sure why the wood duck photos didn't process nicely?  Did it the same for all of the pics.
 












Is this a female hooded merganser?



Enjoy and thanks for looking

nice set.
i like the osprey.well processed.
love the green heron.this is a better photo-op than i,ve had so far this year.i,ve seen 4 but no oppertunity to get a decent shot.
looks like a F. reb-breasted merganser,or juvenile to me,but i,m no expert.

Hey thanks everyone

"you have great luck with these guys"

Meghan i'd like to call it "skilled in the ways of the Green Heron"
rather than luck but that might have something to do with it

How about "Green Heron Whisperer"?
Kind of a long nickname but GHW for short.
