A Cold Duck Day (Barrow's Goldeneye)

[Maz]

Hello everyone,

Today was cold but sunny in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada, so I decided to go to a bridge near where I live for a few duck shots. I certainly do not have the lens for the job but I taught I would share a few photos. The water never freezes under the bridge and the ducks feed there. The Barrows Goldeneye duck is quite rare in these parts. There were also plenty of Common Goldeneye, Common Mergansers as well as lots of gulls.

I hope you like the photos. I would like to go back and try and get better photos.

Thanks...

These aren't bad, but another trip with the lighting in mind could produce some awesome pics. It's a beautiful bird and certainly worthy of another trip.
