Nice captures, Paul! These skimmers have certainly provided you with wonderful photography ops.

Lovely presentation, Dave! Very nice.

Beautiful portrait of this drake wigeon, fotoi! Excellent lighting.

Incredibly sharp close-up of this gilded flicker, Tom! Very nice!

Fantastic close-up shot of the puffin, Adam!

This is a beauty, Rob!

Thank you very much, Mike.

Stunning shot, Sid! So sharp and he stands out beautifully!

Lovely shot, Sid! I like the setting plus the water dripping off his beak.

I can't help you with the ID Paul, but I can tell you that these two shots are really great!

Crack'in shot, Bill!

Thanks Mike.
It's really difficult for me to identify when they're in their transitioning stage of development.
Happy trails.

A Mallard.

I took one of those on a backpacking trip...nothing like a BRICK in your bag!!! $20 per photo (fuji velvia!), now those were the days!

Masterful capture, Steve! Love the heron's pose and the low camera angle shot.

Thanks much, Mike! Sometimes ya just gotta get on your knees and go home muddy...well worth it, though.

Totally agree, my favourite days are the days I go home muddy, even if my wife does have something to say about it
Cracking capture Steve.

Hard to get better!
