Wood Duck

Rohirrim

I was hoping to capture some more Bald Eagles up at Lake Tahoe this morning. The eagles skunked me, but I stumbled on this Wood Duck that allowed me to get some shots. I think he only had one leg?

He was a very cooperative subject.

A little stretch during the session.

Nice job Steve. I also like the reflection shot. You might check Ben's pizza for that missing leg.

Beautiful exposure that captures all his colors perfectly. I bet that one legged duck swims circles around all the others.

Thank you all for your comments.

Jeff, the Bald Eagles can be found at Tahoe, not very easy to get close to, but very cool to see. I hope to get some decent shots of them once I get my new lens.

Excellent shots Steve. Good details and great color. Sorry about the lack of eagles. I managed to get a few this morning. maybe I can fed-ex you one of our surplus eagles.
