Just a few from this week. Not the most favorable light on the tri-color and duck.

The pintail is one I don't usually see so I was excited to at least add him to my list.

Nice series. I don't get to see these types of birds. My feather friends aren't so exotic. The snow forces them to migrate. Can't wait for them to return!

Great series Mike. I agree, you got good light for the tri-colour and duck, specially the tri-colour against the dark bg. Nice reflection on the duck and I like the water on take off with the pelican.

Excellent series of Shots Mike! The Spoonbill is my favorite of the bunch, and the Pintail is one of the best looking ducks around. Well done!

Those are Awesome Mike, wish we had that variety up here. Were you laying in the water on that Spoonbill?
