Not impressed

There were some ducks and a few geese at the gardens, but the great blue heron and all the cormorants were gone, as were all the other smaller birds we saw there last time.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Glorious day at Constitution Gardens, posted earlier:

Beautiful shot with perfect timing capturing that spread out wings...V

this duck looks great with outstretched wings! V

Great pose. It seems like Canada geese are everywhere.

He is a magnificent bird just the same. V

Nice and sharp, mating season is 5 or 6 months away, anyway he better save his energy.

That show-off jock is over the top. She (I'm presuming she's a she) would obviously rather be more attracted to a more thoughtful and refined goose.

This one is sharp with this great pose.

A well captured wing-flapping shot Helen.

Nice Canada Goose image the wing span is really something
You named this shot perfectly she is not paying any attention to his wing display, good viewing detail and composition.

the hood ornament pose usually works well , but success can't be guaranteed..
