I spent friday morn at the Ridfefield Refuge. It was in the 20's and most of the sloughs and smaller ponds were frozen over. Rest Lake, the largest, had about half open water and half ice. I estimated 600 tundra swans and close to that in geese and a variety of other waterfowl.
I decided to practice using my cameras A1 servo auto focus mode, which proved itself in tracking the moving birds.
This incoming pair of Tundra Swans carefully navigated over the open water looking for a landing spot.

Like the placement of their legs and the way the feathers on the lead one curve. Great capture! My only suggestion is to brighten it up a bit.
