Wako and Green Cay This & That - 1

I don't have a "theme" for these, but I don't want to overlook them. So this is a first miscellany of this and that ...

Black-bellied Whistling Duck

Double-crested Cormorant

Eurasian Collared-Dove

Glossy Ibis

(Florida) Red-Shouldered Hawk

Boat-tailed Grackle - female

A note on the Mottled Duck - this species is very closely related to the Mallard. There is so much interbreeding, that the species is considered to be at risk of so much genetic mixing that its future is in doubt in some places. So it was comforting to realize at the end of the trip, that I had seen Mottled Ducks, but no Mallards, possibly a first for birding trips.

Blue-winged Teal

Good Birding ! !
