Northern Nevada Egrets

Rohirrim

We don't have any Egrets in this part of Nevda this time of year, but we do have DUCKS! Quite a variety actually, I've set my self a goal to try and capture all of the species and I hope you don't mind me sharing them with you. The first species up is the Gadwall.

Steve, I love that series, just love all the photos, the water and the grooming and the sleeping, etc shots. They are all wonderful!

ginger (and your presentation is, too, as always)

Great shots again, Steve. I notice some appear to be out on the water - were these taken using your new toy/canoe??
Kevin.
PS - Can I put an order in for some pintails??

Nice series Steve. I think perhaps you've dropped that 500mm on your head. Those are not egrets. They are however , rather fowl.

Thanks Kevin, no canoe this time. I tried it out this week though, those pintails are extremely skittish. I'll keep trying though.
