See if you can get the bird on the right to step behind the feeder and poke his head out to the right, like a magic trick.

Rob that's an outstanding capture and such a beautiful drake.
Love the composition with the background just melting into the water.
Beautiful in every way.

Thank you. Getting the camera as low as you can creates that look. I actually got my hood wet on this one :lol: The flip screen makes this much easier.

Nice, supersharp picture with very pleasant background.

Thank You for sharing.

Wonderful capture, Bill! Out here in my area, these guys are quite difficult to capture...very shy.

Great capture of this fuzz ball, Bill!
