Last year we had four Tree ducks or Whistler ducks as they are also called, visit our ducks. They would fly into the trees and watch them, or sit on top of their pen.
This year they are back. We have had as many as 7 of them. This picture is of some on the pond. They are very pretty and interesting birds. They are small and fly very well, they have been in the tops of some trees. Most often there are 3 of them here, and we call them Moe, Curley and Larry (Three Stooges). Then when 4 more showed up the other day, we called them Betty Joe, Bobby Joe, Billy Joe and Uncle Joe. (from Petticoat Junction).

Thought you all might enjoy seeing pictures of them.
