Good to se you back Maggie as I wondered what happened to you. But I have been a bit absent my sely lately getting involved with the Mass. Audubon.
These look great and nice detail and color so I guess you still got it.

Hi Lou - it's great to hear you're getting involved with Audubon. They are lucky to have you. Thank you

maggie Love the first two Northern Shovelers >> Every time I come across these guys their little heads are down in the water and I rarely get a descent shot with their heads up. The female on the log is fantastic... Speed demon is great too

Anthony Whitmo


Hi Anthony It's amazing how much time Shovelers spend trollling for food, with their heads down while those huge bills of theirs skim the water. Focused! Thanks much

Doug

That shot #5 of the Canada Goose has a painterly quality to it (which is a good thing).
- Ken


Hi Ken, I think you've been gone longer than I've been gone as has the other Ken. You two have been up to something...
Thanks much

Great series, Maggie. The Shovelers are quite special --- the way you've caught them, seems like they have "personality"! But my fave is the Canadian Goose. Love the bg, full spread --- and the water droplets from its right leg...

Best Wishes,
Steve


Thanks much, Steve. Shovelers definitely have personality

Wonderful series Maggie. Great shot on the Tree Swallow - almost impossible to get in flight and you nailed it. I really like the Shovelers as well. Nice job!

Brian


Thank you, Brian. The Swallows are challenging as you know, but worth the effort...sometimes

Hi Jack, I don't recall seeing one of your posts before; therefore, welcome to the forum. I used the 400/5.6 and these were all taken in the Seattle area.
Thanks much
