After three solid weeks of work, I managed to get the kayak out for a few hours yesterday.

Surprised this wood duck with young. She immediately went into wounded duck mode to lure me away. Grabbed some shots of her and left the young alone as it was clearly stressful on her

Found a Mallard family who couldn't have been more relaxed with me there

I really liked that 2nd shot of the woodie. That close up, your last shot, is a dandy.

Great work and even greater that you had a chance to get out of work to take these pictures! As common place as Mallards are the shot of Momma Mallard and her brood is my favorite. That's a wonderful shot, it put a big smile on my face. The napper is a close second. Nice work!
