Egyptian Goose at Garner State Park, Texas Available in L, M, S:Large 2100x1680 @300dpiThis is a bird someone must have introduced to the US from Africa. We'll likely be sorry, because it is known in Africa as a nuisance. There was a pair and they had a chick with them. Save 20% by purchasing entire collection.

a ball game played in mesoAmerica for 1500 yrs and still played in Mazatlan

but only a few  miles away

Her crop is distended with frog

He was tired enough to allow me to get pretty close

I love this shot of our pensive little female with her beautiful irridescent feathers

but I wish I'd seen one dive for food the way they are able

for just this reason

Could this be more quaint

It looks like he's swinging on the vine

our group did not find the charming female with her fancy droopy black crest that swings about so seductively

I definitely had to contort my body  and risk dropping my equipment in the pond to get this shot

You can see the tiny beak of one of the babies poking up over the top of the nest
