Ruddy duck

I have fallen in love with birding and taking bird photographs! Watch out! This blog may turn into a bird sanctuary:)... I had never known that a duck with baby blue bill ever existed! It looks like someone painted this! It's called Ruddy duck. 

Picture perfect!!

I recently went on a nature walk and was staring at the sign that were one among those posted all over the nature center to let the visitors know about the possible sightings of the birds and animals. I was soon engrossed for a moment in looking at the picture of the bird and the tiny words below, to see what's written there... By the time I read it as 'Snowy Egret', a real one shows up and lands in the water right in front of the sign that displays it's name and picture! What a picture perfect moment! Even though he stood there calm and quiet, his presence was screaming 'that's me that's me'!!
