Wood Duck
Have been busy with the flooding lately and boating in to check the sump pumps but have caught a few shots as I do. This evening there was a pair of Wood Ducks waiting when I started out of the house. I keep trying to get one in good light, but this turned out pretty well. The river is falling and a decent shot, not a bad day, even though my boot sprung a leak.
Olympus E5 Sigma50-500mm lens 1000mm eq 1/100 f10 ISO 1250

Nice looking wood duck Kendall. Looks like it's time for a new pair of boots!

Very nice, Kendall. They won't allow me within a few hundred feet of them. :toast:

Nice catch. These guys are usually pretty skittish. You caught him just right.
