Hi Everyone,

Saw a strange bird at my pond yesterday. It was the same size


of

a woodduck (which is about 3/4 the size of a normal duck), black or VERY
dark blue, had a neck like a goose, and flew into and sat in trees. I'm
thinking it may be a baby herring that hadnt developed it's colors yet.


I'm

in western PA zone 5. Any ideas?

Sam






Didn't think of that. We have them at the local reservoir. Neat bird
to watch. They dive deep and come up at a great distance from where
they enter the water. I had forgotten the size of your pond/lake ;-)


Forget what I said. My head isn't working this morning. I
was thinking of a loon! That's the one that dives and comes
up far away!
