wow... those are incredible... just the clarity and the color! What lens were you using for this?

550mm focal length? What lens were you using, indeed?!

I LOVE number two in the series! How their wing and body positions are so similar but just slightly different!

Impressive! So, are the prints hanging up in your home yet?

BTW, did you flush them out or were you set up and something else prompted them to take flight?

Thanks.....I was just hanging out down by the lake waiting on something to fly by. Hundreds of Ducks in the water, but they were just floating around. I saw a helicopter flying low over the area amd i knew the Ducks would spook soon as it got closer....I was right!
