Went up to the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge and found the largest bunch of Northern Pintails I've ever seen. I'd estimate their numbers were approaching six figures if not surpassing it. Here are a couple of shot from there.

Great shots, aren,t pintails the most magnificent bird to watch in flight, they are so graceful. Be sure and try and catch them in the spring, as there courtship flights will really blow you away!!
