GrammaChar said:I've been remiss in posting bird photos....But today I ran into a real gaggle of geese and ducks. What are they? No clue as I don't know anything about ducks and geese. I was hiking along Cibolo Creek and ended up with quite a following. Most were friendly, but a large white goose was a little bit aggressive. Here are a few shots to get started. More to come tomorrow.

I think your 3rd duck is probably a black duck. They are almost identical to mallards except they have a black bill and mallards have an orange bill. (so says hubby anyway Shrug! )
