1DmkIII, 70-200 2.8IS.
So, I've never posted my duck obligitory duck shot. We've had some very nasty weather lately but the rain stopped for about an hour yesterday so I went to the park in search of a duck, also wanted to use servo on the mkIII on some BIF's, but, none of the darn birds were flying so I servo'd them swimming:)

Over all the weather was terrible the birds didn't cooperate but it was nice to
Get out of the office for a few minutes anyways. Have to say, so far,
the Blue Dot 1DmkIII is flawless, the only thing wrong with it is the guy holding it:)

Thanks for looking guys and Gals
Happy Holidays everyone!

Nice ducks...even if they are too big...might want to resize them to the 800 px limit or link them.

I would check #3 for his waterfowl credentials -- it is just possible that he is an impostor.

Yeah....I work in a little town outside of Seattle called Bothell. They have a park with a river running through it. Usually it's packed with many species of Ducks, Herons and Gulls.
There's also a huge family (or uh Gaggle?) of Chickens. This one WAS in fact minding his own business in the road:)
