Ducks are beautiful, great job on the action shot of the Kinglet, if you can get these guys in flight your good to go.

Wow, I've never seen Canvasback that close to shore or even on shore for that matter. I was there yesterday too and never noticed it...what time of day were you there?

Thank you all.

I was there first thing in the morning from 7:45 to approx 11:30.
When I go out (which is very often) I'm always on location just before the sun is up. I'm always up early.

Great shots - especially the Canvasback - such clarity around the eye.  I too find the GCK very difficult to photo - yours looks like its bouncing on a trampoline - love it!
