Post your favorite picture of ducks, geese, or whatever bird(s) you'd like to share with us. Winner gets... well, dang, I don't really know. Lots of comments, I hope?

I'll start off with these:

Both are the same picture; #2 has the background goose edited out. Which is better, in your opinion?

Here's another one from the same location (taken today):

P.S. Can anyone think of a snappy title for this or my other goose pic?

Good clarity; I can really see his tongue and the water drops. I like the edited version better.

Although this isn't a water fowl, it is a goose - Nene (Hawaiian Goose)

Truly they are not?

I thought both ducks and geese were the very definition of "waterfowl". Perhaps I should learn my terms...

Here's info I found out about the Nene (Hawaii's state bird). The Nene (pronounced "nay-nay") is a land bird and a variety of Hawaiian Goose. It has adapted itself to life in the harsh lava country by transforming its webbed feet into a claw-like shape and modifying its wing structure for shorter flights.
