p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wood ducks of many ages

This set was photographed at calm and peaceful Kissena Park here in New York City. I used my Fuji X-T3, Fuji 1.4x, Fringer Pro II lens adapter, Sigma 150-600 C for Canon to have the reach I needed and did not need at other times. All were taken shooting between the bars of a rod iron fence some while kneeling and others sitting with the lens foot resting on my leg and LCD flipped up so I could see. If that were not enough of a challenge I was also shooting into the sun. Really tricky shooting conditions that caused me many misses yet I celebrate some of the successes shown here.

There were a number of times the chicks and female came so close I could not focus.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Thank you Amit,
Just imagine 11 of them running around in front of you and trying to get photos of them through the bars of a fence

8 & 9 are my favorites. 8 is endearing, but 9 is so wonderfully sharp, and the water droplets make it. All nice.
