Nice, colorful wigeon shot, fotoi!

Two excellent captures, Kirk! I especially like the low camera angle of willet shot.

This is an especially nice capture of the hooded merganser, Jimmy! I really like his pose.

Great close-up shot of the drake wood duck, Paul! I really like how nicely the wood duck is separated from the colorful blurred background.

Thank you Mike.They sure are colorful birds.Happy trails.

Two excellent shots!

Time waits for no one!

This blackbird lives in our garden, under a hedge hence the high ISO. He ihas some white feathers, which apparently is not that unusual. Sadly, it seems that because he is "different" he is shunned by other blackbirds. Nature is a bit like human nature sometimes...

Many thanks, Mike!
I crossed a semi-frozen pond with snowshoes to get the shot.
He was trying to impress a potential mate nearby.
Cheers!
