ltsed65, Excellent RTH! Yes lots of them out here. There's a few country roads about 20 minutes from my house where you can see them just about all day every day.... which is no doubt lucky for me!

I think these 2 spotted me

Nice capture, Mark! I'm guessing these two are a mated pair.

Nice capture, sogs! But not the handsomest duck in country.

Thank you very much LD! They certainly are not!

Time waits for no one!

Another 100-300 at 300. Just wish I didn’t have to crop so much. Second picture is without any cropping.

Thanks!

They used quite a few of my pics in that book. . I'll page through it and find some more and post 'em, if you're interested.

Thank you, Mike! The funny thing is it was in 60s yesterday and I was figuring spring has arrived.

Oh, man...it sure didn't look like the 60's, judging from the picture, Steve. I was thinking below freezing.

Beautifully composed shot, Bill! Very attractive.

Often mistaken, but never in doubt.

Double-created Cormorant
Unfortunately this bird has a fishhook caught in his mouth or throat. He might even have swallowed it much deeper. The fishing line is caught around the branches of the tree, making it almost impossible for him to free himself. Like most of us, I hate to see stuff like this.
