Not much of a story to tell for this image. Shot in San Diego where there are lots of wood ducks. There were several wood ducks congregating near an oak tree on the edge of the lake. They love acorns and launch themselves out of the water to go up into the tree to feed. There is a narrow corridor that they have to come through when they come to this tree to feed so my best friend and I set up on this corridor for either in coming flight shots or launching and leaving flight shots. The lighting for incoming shots is not ideal but the morning is the only time you can get them coming in so it is what it is.
Anyway, I was fortunate to get a series of shots on this landing and I think this might be the best one. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by for a look.
