I got these shots last month at Anahuac NWR with the D2H & 300f4, handheld. There was a hawk circling above, so this group kept moving around on me and the lighting was very harsh. A smooth landing Look out, I'm coming in! View attachment 8004 Getting to safer territory View attachment 8005
Neat Shots Neat Shots Don... I've never seen these duckes here in New England...or at least I never knew I did. Interesting that you mentioned to raptor..I was trying to shoot ducks early yesterday AM and they were really nervous...I finally realized that there was a red tail overhead.
Jim - It was an interesting toss up for the ducks -- getting into taller grasses to avoid the raptor while avoiding all the alligators around. This guy was snoozing nearby: :shock: D2H, 24-120VR at f5.6, 120mm
Great shots, We have a bunch of whisteling duck at Viera I hear via the Audobon Frank I have to go out there this week end. Haven't been there in a while. that place in Texas looks quite a bit like Veria and share the same birds and alligatore.
