Duck Duck Goose!

Today we walked down by the Monongahela river on the south side river trail. I added these birds to the list:
  1. Northern Mockingbird
  2. Mallard (Plus a domestic but escaped white Pekin Duck)
  3. Ring-billed Gull
  4. Rock Pigeon (saw this one from the car on the way down to the river.)
I had to get some good pictures of the mockingbird and then zoom in just to make sure the eye was brown...it looked all black from where I stood.


 Ring-billed Gull:



I believe the white duck is considered to be a domestic-but-escaped Pekin duck, which was bred in China from mallards, which it is seen hanging around with here:



Duck, Duck, (Canada) Goose!
