Like manky mallards, ganky geese display remarkable variety due to both the methodical manipulations of breeders and the variable volatility of the more natural kind of breeding. Summer Foovay Mar 6th, 2011 at 9:43 pm I don’t know about anyone else but I like both the manky ducks and ganky geese. Thanks for visiting!

Black Vulture - Despite a marked increase in Turkey Vulture sightings – nine since March of 2011 when I had my first in Queens - Black Vultures remain stubbornly absent from the borough (only two sightings reported to eBird in Queens since 2008). Sadly, it did not stick around to breed though I thought that it might.
