Animals again, enjoy!
I thought you might enjoy this shot of a hooded merganser taking off.

Cheers.

I enjoy it very much!
Perfect background highlights this odd looking (yet beautiful) bird. Just enough blur in the wing to show some action. Great work again, Bill!
Where did you take this image?

Great action shot, Bill. I saw one of these guys in Bosque back in December, but it was very shy.

Very nice flight shot, Bill.
That bright yellow eye quickly catches your attention.

I love this shot! The yellow eye grabs you right away. The large head almost looks comical...great capture.

It was shot in Fort Collins John, just from the car with a beanbag. If you want more details then email me.

Fantastic, Bill. I really like your positioning of the duck, and just your subject itself.

Great flight shot! Love the eyes.
