Hi everyone, Well it has been really slow in central Ohio lately, these Mallards are our year round locals so i managed a few shots of them.

These are fairly heavy crops and not the best of images,

1. Coot on the run

Sometimes you just have to take what you can get Alan. The coot running on water is a fun shot You snuck in some jays, I'm a sucker for them, we don't have them here. The ducks are all looking real good. These might not be exotics but they are well done

I really like these Alan. You've got some nice in flight shots of DM.
Funny looking coot Light in that second and third shots are great.
Love the Blues, well captured series of shots Alan.
