When we stay in the city there is a pond 1/2 block away from the house.
Nothing really great there but it is a place I can walk out of the door and BIF practice.
I don't know one duck from another but you all will-

Those are blue ribbon images, Robert. Coming at ya shots like that are so tough to make. I especially like the drake.

Terrific series of shots, David...my favorite being the Forster's Terns.

Nice! Good to see you plying the new camera Bill.

Thanks, Robert, it's hard to put down. Looking forward to Aug to add length on the end of it.

Great shot. I'm impressed that you locked onto this small bird so well.

Canon 7D2 · 16-35 f/4L IS · 17-55 f/2.8 IS · 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM · 50 f/1.8 · 100 f/2.8 Macro · 100-400L IS II
Picture editing is OK. CC always welcome.

One more. Actually two more I'm pretty happy with.

40 days and counting.
I have to wonder with my big trip coming up if I got in early enough.
Alex Phan says no worries, this 200600 is made in China with plenty of production, unlike
the 500PF where I hear people are still waiting
