brandon Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 I was presented with some good lighting this morning so once again I targeted waterfowl. enjoy Drake Mallard Female Mallard landing Female Mallard bathtime Drake Mallard Drake Mallard in flight Drake Mallard Landing Pair of American Wigeon And the next bunch are Bufflehead
jwl Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 those are cool pics, love the way the camera captures the action alos cool to see the wood ducks in the other pics, I am a trustee for a conservation club and we build and set out wood duck nesting boxes in a few areas, I have yet to see on, but did have good sings this season when we went to check and clean them..there where 2 hatched eggs there;s litterally hundreds of water fowl right now on the upper Niagara by my place.
Sinker Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) That first shot of the bufflehead is awesome!!! Cool little bird them.......make a great target!! Theres something fishy about the landing hen mallard though. Take a close look at her bill. I think that may be a mallard/black hybrid? Notice the bill on the next hen pic (orange/black)? I can see some white on the speculum of the landing bird though, which leads me to believe its a hybrid? Sinker Edited February 17, 2009 by Sinker
brandon Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 It's a possibility.......theres a few drake mallard/pintail cross' in the area too
danc Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Nice BIF,s Brandon. I can't wait for summer. I've had enough of winter already. Your duck shots have inspired me.
BassAsin Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 the bill on the mallard in the first picture almost looks fake! such amazing photos once again thanks for sharing them! Matt!
centerpin_drift Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 right on bradnon, i was waiting for your next batch of pics. enjoyed them once again, keep them comming mike
eye-tracker Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Some great shots, I love the painterly boken in a few of the shots. Really makes the subject jump. -sheldon
Handlebarz Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Brandon the only thing I dont like about your pics is that I keep forgetting to check here to see them. Dang you always amaze me with the quality of the shots you take. I hope you get home this summer and we can get some musky shots. Keep the pics coming and I hope that I remember to check them out.
