Shovelers

The ducks will probably be heading North anyday now, but I am trying to take advantage while they are still around.

Nice Matt! There seem to be fewer and fewer around here lately....

Good looking birds, very similar to Mallards, good close shots.

nice series, Matt

Very pretty drakes Matthew, but the hen looks a little shy....what did you say to her?
J/K of course! Those drakes are quite colorful and you captured that very well. I don't blame you for nabbing a few more before they head North.

Nice shooting, Matthew. You must have gotten closer to these than I am able.

NIce close shots. I find them to be very shy about letting anyone near them - they even head for the other side of the water when a car goes by. Beautify birds, wish I could shots of them as nice as these.
