Sometimes I like to take a break from the frame-filling closeups, and shoot images that showcase the habitat in which the birds are living. Once the river ice around here starts to break up, it lasts only a few days before flowing out to the main stem of the Columbia, so I don't have many opportunities to capture these types of images.

Canon 50D
400mm f2.8 with the 2x tele-extender
(1280mm effective focal length)
f11
1/1000th of a second
ISO 400

I also included a portrait of the Common Goldeneye, for those who are unfamiliar with this species.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".
