A plethora of birds

How many different types can you see?

[Sue Cooper]

5 or 6 but I’m not sure if I’ve counted the same type twice. Great shot.

[judith deacon]

Goodness that looks a great spot to settle with a camera, such a variety of subject matter.

[Peter]

What a lovely peaceful image Denise, looks like six different birds and a rabbit on boat No14 to me, lol:)

[Joan Robillard]

Is there a cat on one of the boats.

[Sheralee S]

Maybe six? I also thought it was a rabbit but didn't really think it would be. Now I'm eager to find out :)

[Diana]

Interesting place to go for a shoot. I think 6 and a Cat or Otter ;-)

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely

[Issi Bannerman]

What a fab selection of birds and boats. What's that on boat no. 14?

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! No.14’s animal has ears! Ha! I’m sorry but I immediately thought about the mess they are making on the boats! A great photo though.

[Jane Anderson]

I'm going with 5, and it was fun to decide too!

[Paul]

A lovely scene :)

[Margo Sayer]

6? Interesting gathering.

[gloria jones]

Great composition...Nice variety of water birds

[Mallory]

Love the colors here.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lost count they keep moving, must put this whisky down. Fav.

[carol white]

Great capture, must be 5 or 6

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh that's quite amazing the more you look the more you find - I think 6

[Sharon Lee]

Nicely done

[Pyrrhula]

6 (I think) Great find and capture.

[wendy frost]

Great shot with the group of birds.

[Marnie]

I can see a lot of birds - and a lot of boat-cleaning to come.

[Rick]

Great capture. Looks like a four legged creature right in the middle on boat 14.

[Dinah Pinkston]

Your pic has a very nice assortment of interesting birds! Very nice capture!

[Ron]

I say six and a wallaby, which begs the question, how the heck does a wallaby get onto a canoe. And why. Love the black swan, which are seen very rarely in North America.

Marnie & Lou Ann - you have the cleaning duties now, and Heather, i think you'd better share that whisky :)

[Sheralee S]

@gilbertwood So funny! We were all so sure it was an animal :)
