Harlequin Ducks

Ive wanted to get decent photos of these ducks for two years now. I have to travel about 2.5 hours to get to them. I was upset with the lighting conditions but I was still able to get some clicks. Thanks for looking, Cole

Good job, Cole; I'd love to be able to photograph this species.

thanks. Yeah, they have been a 2 year nemesis. Finally happy to get them!

I would deal with the light if I had somewhere, reliable, I could drive to find theses. Usually drive where I 'hear' they're hanging out and they disappear.

I particularly like that last shot

Thank you very much.
