These are great VJ. Typical blackbird chasing off the hawk and where is the mockingbird chasing off the blackbird? LOL! I love that shot of the Muscovy. That is a real Muscovy and not a domestic. Fantastic! I love Black-bellied Whistling Ducks…they really do whistle when they fly over. 🙂

We see them in northern Florida during fall and spring migration. They are residents in Florida in the central part of the state. 🙂
