Only had about 15mins to play today, nevertheless, I present the obligatory bird shot. Anybody know what type of duck/goose/bird this is? Maybe a Muscovy duck?...but I don't see any images with smooth faces.  Image hosted by forum (803774) © MMp [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

I have dragonfly's around my work and I can't get my auto focus to track them for a darn. I guess they are just too small. I have captured some but that seemed to be more luck then anything else.... They're sort of like predatory birds; they carve out little "territories" that they'll cycle through while they're hunting. So, watch for a particular perch or hover spot and then setup on that spot while they're 'on patrol'. It's a lot easier then. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

I had to drive 10+ hours and take a 3.5 hour ferry ride across Lake Superior to Isle Royale to get this photo of a fox -- and you have them running around your yard!
