Duck Day (Plus a heron)
Was up north at my brother's house over the holidays and stopped at a spot in Ft Collins. Met Bill Meikle and his wife Joan. Two wonderful people! I cannot count the number of duck species we saw. It was amazing. ALso spotted a few GB Herons and a pesky little King Fisher (they never let me get close enough with a 300mm). Hope everyone had a great holiday. Here are a few.

Those are all nice. I like the first one best. He looks like he is in a serious hurry.

I like the CM the best, not easy to find them out of the water. The wood duck is cool too. Nice collection Kurt. The GBH is having a bad hair day!

Nice shots, Kurt. Like the expressions of the HM and the GBH.

Those are all excellent, Kurt! That first one is killer with the droplets.
