This was taken in October, 2007, one late afternoon at the local park.
Dedicated to all you photographers who find birds as fascinating as I do, no matter how unusual they may look. Thanks, Tony Ebben, for inspiring me to wander down Memory Lane in my "Birds" files, and re-discover this old favorite.

  I Agree only very appealing in an ODD WAY..
Believe this is an Egyptian Goose saw some this past winter in Florida that people were aware of.
Will check through the files

  Thank you, Tammy, Carolyn, Becky, Bobby, Tiia, and Jack. I really appreciate your friendly response.

Extra thanks for providing the name, Jack. Wikipedia gave me a link with photos:

The first goose (photo) looks like a very close relative of my goose. So nice to finally know its name! Thanks again!

  He (or is it a she?) sure is, Mary. And will you look at that reflection and the beautiful light that really brings out the colors? Amazing image, Mary. I expect to see this one again next month!

  Isn't it great to go back to the archives and find some treasures that we truly enjoy. This one is definitely fascinating, love the colors and the reflection on the water, quite engaging in this composition.

  I agree, Rey. Our photo files are chock-full of beautiful images that, in some cases, we have forgotten we even took! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments.
