My daughter loves the pink beak!
Thank you Karen, I am glad you're back :-)
Fabulous photos - I love the long pink legs of the stilts!!
I look forward to more beauty birds
G. Florist: I guess thinking about it, we don't have any ducks locally that have pink beaks, do we?
Anyes: Glad to be back. That storm was scary.
Anne: The stilts remind me of our sandpipers down at the beach, but they have gray legs not pink.
Chantal: More birds coming your way!
