I can’t help but love the “accidents” that occur when doing photography. In this case the beautiful blue color reflected in the water enhances the similar blue color of the Ruddy duck beak.
On a really windy day, the birds will be flying into the wind and will remain more still making it easier to get a shot of the bird in flight.
I find the female Hooded Merganser one of the most beautiful elegant ducks that I see. The setting for this picture gives it a somewhat painterly appearance which really shows just how magnificent this female Hooded Merganser is.
The Wood Duck is one of the most beautiful ducks that I see and am always thrilled to be able to get a good picture.
It is so cool to take a pictuer of a bird standing on the ice. It is easy to see all of the lovely details of this pretty duck.
It is always exciting to be able to “stop” water with the camera. These two ducks were going at eachother for quite awhile and were in close proximity.
This White-throated Sparrow was sliding around on the thick layer of ice that covered the park.
This Common Goldeneye is going to be in great shape for Valentine’s day next week!
