p.1 #1 · Blackbird Duck Cormorant (10)

I did try to shoot from a bird hide lately. I went there early and the ducks came in nice and close.
Unfortunately bird hides are not build for low angle shooting.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.
Chris

1) Met this male blackbird on my may to the bird hide.

2) Not sure about her ID but she loved to search mud for food.

4) Male Tufted Ducks look much better in good light. So here are two fun shots.

I really like the first shot, Chris. Properly exposed, fine detail and with a silky smooth bg. The others are also very nice with 3 and 9 being my favorites.

Looks like you had a good time Chris. Fun set with excellent techs. I do wish for a some more room in the first, that is an excellent shot.

Thank you Socrate.
The blackbird was kind enough to let me tweak the exposer and even reposition myself to get the smooth BG.

Thank you Tim. The blackbird was sitting on top of the welcome sign pole to the area.
Although the sign wasn't very appealing at all the stuff that crows on top of the pole definitely is.
