A pair seems to have made our lake their home for the spring. They were relaxing in the grass today and I thought the light was really pleasant so I took some shots. They have gotten a little more used to me being around recently so I was able to get reasonably close without dislodging them.

Thanks! The light was definitely working for me in these shots. It was nice to have a stationary subject also, which usually isn't a luxury of shooting wildlife. I was able to use the 2-sec timer for some of these so they turned out nice and sharp.
