I have no idea what kind of bird this is.
I found it while walking around our town lake with the kids and my mother.
Have you taken a walk lately?
Just stopped what you were doing and walked,
enjoying nature and a conversation with someone you love?

It looks like a duck...but I am NOT the person to be asking such questions..can't wait to see if you find out.
IDK...but it is pretty.
I take a walk almost everyday. It is what settles me and keeps the nerve less jangly. I did a photo post of my favorite walk last week Friday.
Oh, these are beautiful shots against the blue sky. I believe that bird is a double-crested cormorant. I love their eyes and how they spread their wings to dry after swimming.
It's a Dodo!
Nice photo.
What a cool looking bird! We love taking afternoon walks!
I did take some walks this week, with Dottie whom I love and one with a good friend whom I love...Dottie loves pointing out birds and ducks and dogs and cars and boats.....
it's a big bird...ha ha:)
maybe the cormorant family i certainly do not know Hi Annie Sandy
A very interesting bird I might add!
Dang Girl, these are AWESOME shots! I think you and I need to go for a walk together, K? hehe
I believe the bird is a type of cormorant. Walking is good for more reasons than one!
For some reason I was thinking cormorant. I certainly don't know my birds though.
Great picture!
I'm awful at bird names. Can we call it Fred? :P
no idea, but i did a bird post too! ;-D
Rhea, your camerawork just gets better and better. Lovely composition on both shots.
Bravo!
I'm afraid I don't know exactly what bird it is. You've taken some great shots though :)
my first thought was some sort of cormorant too. for sure a water bird.
I love your post title ;)
the bird is something to see
thanks for the comment. I just really didnt want that present from him though..lol
Could it be a young egret!
Lovely pictures. It is a cormorant. I took some photos a few years back of one while down in Florida and I looked it up afterwards. I didn't realize there were other types. I'm going to have to do another google on double-crested ones, as identified by Adrienne in Ohio.
Wow, never seen a bird like that before!
Nice photos - I agree with david mcmahon - great compositions!!
I have no idea what kind of bird it is. But I see you have a few suggestions in these comments.
Sorry I haven't stopped by since "Goose Bumps" and your Bloggiversary!! I did get your email about Lost... I'm lovin' that right now... you?
Another good title for this post - I posted yet another valentines post... well I dedicated it more to love and affection ;)
If the rain stops, I'm off for a walk today!! Thank for the inspiration.
I saw you over at Jen's page. I thought I would say Hi. I am new to SITS. Happy V-day. Love the sunflowers.
Thanks for stopping by my brand-new blog. I'm so happy to see your picture of a bird and your mention of a walk. I feel like in my first week of blogging I've been a tad obsessed. Fortunately, I peeled myself away long enough today for a bike ride on a beautiful, clear day. I'm terrible at bird names so can't help you there, but it sounds like the other commenters got that narrowed down for you. Happy V Day!
Definately a cormorant.
Thanks for your visit today!
Nice photo.
Craig
I have no idea but it is a cool bird!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I joined SITS a few weeks ago and have already come across some awesome blogs. I love taking walks too. We have a nature trail not to far from our house and try to get out there whenever possible.
Marvellous close up of such a fabulous bird.
Don't know what kind of bird it is, but it is a nice looking bird.
Wow, cool looking bird! I never take walks. I hate walks. They're boring. Hell, I don't even walk to the new rental house and it's 4 doors down. LOL
Justine :o )
Great pics! Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog and for the encouraging words. :)
I think it's the bird that took a major dump on my van. Thanks, I was looking for him....
Definitely a cormorant of some kind. Someone else in this meme had a cormorant today, too. Small world!

Cool picture
I would say it's a comorant- probably a neotropic if I had to guess. (See below link for a pic of the neotropic.)

Thanks for visiting my blog! :)
I wouldn't have a clue what kind of bird this is, however, my Pastor would know!! He is a huge birding fan. He just took a large group of our church members to Ecuador on a birding trip. Crazy...I say! :)
Hey Rhea - stopped over to thank you for welcoming me to SiTS and spent some time reading your blog. I really enjoyed your posts as I am a SAHM contemplating a re-entry into the workforce. And I really enjoyed your photography! I just got a Nikon D60 SLR that I'm working my way towards learning to use... Maybe we're twins!
Nice to meet 'ya!
Kathy B!
Hey Rhea, that is a immature Double-crested Cormorant, and a beauty at that. Excellent capture against that beautiful blue sky.
Adult Double-crested Cormorants are all black, up to the orange throat pouch. The juvenile has the pale neck and chest.
Looks like a Cormorant to me too. I believe Dodo birds are extinct.
No clue on the bird, but I've been walking lately and noticing nature more and more.
Those are fantastic shots!
It appears it's a cormorant (because Denise & Craig said so..ha! Nice picture...looks big!
