Took a visit down to a local lake and happen to see this pair of Gadwall down there. Can't say that I remember ever seeing Gads there before. Saw lots of Wood ducks and Mallards too.(This is the same spot that LazyPhotographer shared some woodies from)


The happy couple. I just missed getting shots of them courting out in the lake.

Excellent shots. I looked at the link and I like the one of the duck standing in water. I would call it 'walking on water'. Great shots!

Thanks troy7797. I thought about the title for that mallard, "Jesus the duck".

Thanks TammieO, it sure would be nice to have a faster fps body though. Oh well, I'm saving for that 1D body.
