Mono Monday is for the birds

Good morning the start of another week, now the title is not really apt I should say this Mono post is all about the birds.

Most of these shots are from last year, only the last one is somewhat r4ecent and with my new camera, I am looking forward to Winter giving up onus and moving on and letting spring in for new growth, warmer weather and the chance to get out and try and get some new photos of birds and try out again the eye Auto Focus feature on my new camera.
Starting with this shot of this one happily posing for me in the Pond at Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford

Now I perhaps sound like I am complaining about the weather, I am looking forward to warmer weather and nicer days but I cant complain the temps seems to be slowing rising, but winter is still holding on, they are saying we may get some more snow this evening, but nothing of consequence and nothing much will settle.

Another Canadian Guess on the pond I liked the ripples and distorted reflections around this one

Now I am no expert on duck species but these ones look like dapper and stylish to me
Looking online I think they may be some type of mergansers, but as I said I am no expert and may well have got that wrong

And finishing off with a seagull flying by with something in its beak
