Waterfowl of Queens, Part II…

I haven’t posted any photos in a while, but here are a few shots of more waterfowl that I’ve taken over the last week. I’m hoping the rain holds off for the next few days so I can catch up on missed time. All of these photos were captured at Baisley Pond Park in Jamaica, Queens. I know they aren’t Bald Eagles, but they’ll have to do for now:

Notice the size difference when compared to the pure Mallard in the background…
