Duck in a Tree?? : I've spent a great number of hours at the duck pond, and I've seen things I certainly didn't expect, but I've never seen this before.

This guys looked very confused....;-)

First D2H Shots : Not great, but not a bad start.  I got so many more good and nearly good shots today than I normally get that I'm very excited about shooting with this new cam.

In Flight : I've been trying real hard to get some in-flight shots of these guys.  These still aren't up to snuff, but at least they are almost in focus.

White Duck / Black Duck : Went down to the duck pond to do some shooting, and this fellow was kind enough to do a nice figure 8 right in front of me.

The black guy took off from across the pond and came straight at me.  I was lucky to get the shot.  He landed right at my feet!!

One of the best shooting opportunities I've gotten there yet.

Duckling : It's that time of the year and I was lucky to get a few close-ups of this pair.  I've been watching them for several days now.  Normally they are very skittish and run as soon as you get within 30 feet.

More Mallards : I guess this should be 'Mostly Mallards' since a few shots are other species.  Got these while out for a test session with the D70 and Sigma 50-500.

Today (4/22/04) I added several shots taken with the 70-200VR + 1.4 TC, starting with the female mallard.

D70 / New 70-200VR : Just got the 70-200 VR and snapped a few shots.  Still have a long way to go to learn how to get even close to the best out of this jewel.

It was very gloomy when I took the duck shots.  In fact, it started raining on me while I was shooting.  Just wanted to post some pics.

Just added a few shots of some gulls taken the day after the ducks.  A little better weather, but still a long way to go on the shots.

Honkers at Sunset : I was standing around at the local duck pond trying to get some mallards in flight and this bunch flew right at me.

It was almost sunset, so they are a little on the dark side.  Taken with the D70 + TC-14EII.

Dunkin' Ducks : These guys apparently found something good to eat on the bottom of the pond.

D70 / Sigma 50-500 Ducks : Gat a chance (finally!!) to get out and shoot with my new D70 and the Bigma.  Still have a lot to learn, but got a few decent ones.
