Back to business

[AIRIC]

Well, the last few weeks have seen me pretty busy at work and when I have had the time to shoot the weather has been poor. This morning I did manage to get in some great shooting and even met up with Raymond.

The target this morning was Wood Ducks

Mr. Wood Duck

Mrs. Wood Duck

Morning stretch

Harassed by a snapping Mallard

Gadwell’s were also happy to pose for the camera

My first Flicker. Not the best but it will do for now

I came across a Sparrow building a home. He was not thrilled to have me around

I even had time for a fast stroll through a little zoo that was close by. Not sure what this guy is

I do love my close ups

Thanks for looking,

Eric

wow.. lots of great shots bud.. it was cool to see you again, and thanks for the tour of the duck ponds in the big smoke, we will come back when the light is better. I really like the Mrs. WD on the end of the log.. awesome shot.

Amazing series.
1,5 and many of the zoo shots are my favorites.

Oh. and I think that rodent is a capibara.

Awesome. And yep, that largest of all rodents is a capibara.

That shot of the peacock is a classic and beautiful one. Great composition, wonderful colors.

I really like the first shot with the male WD flapping and the fourth of the female WD on the end of the log. Great captures.

Thanks, 1 and 4 seem to be a hit.
