Never really shot a bird before but while I was shooting a few days ago, I came across this Mallard. His colors were amazing in the sunshine. Too bad photobucket degrades the images...

Very nice drake. Get Picasa, 1GIG is free. I slept through my chance to join Kaminski's crew.

Degraded or not, this looks good. And you certainly have a great combo for walkaround birding photography.

Very nice shot, but you cut off his tail. :)

Thanks guys. I was sneaking up on him when he spotted me and started to swim away. It was hard trying to look through the camera and walk on shaky rocks, but oh well... The comp on this capture was not all that great, but I was impressed with his colors and how they turned out.
