Out early this New Year's eve, before the rains start (we don't do anything if it rains) and shot my first Green Wing Teal. Hope you enjoy. Below is the Male Gadwall.

Thanks Gary for the comments, I wasn't interested in ducks before, but since I got my long lens, I am learning a lot.

Great shot of the Teal and the Gadwall is nice too. The drought has us all wishing for shots like this again. Send some of that rain east will you?

Good shot Dennis, Ive seen several of them at Ormond but I can't get close. I've tried to get them in the air but so far nothing but a blur.

Our rain should soon be your rain, we have two waves of storms coming in and they are heading east. Thanks for looking and your kind comments.

I notice that as soon as I move towards them, they slowly increase their distance. Natural selection and survival I guess.

Hard to miss those males for their coloration, but then predators find them faster too. Thank Dimitri for you comments.

These guys are very skittish around here. You did well to get close enough for these shots.
