Congratulations to jaylee73 for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 11 votes - View Previous Winners

Here are some photos I took over the past month.

I shot the ducks yesterday and am amazed how just a little sun brings out the greens in both the Golden Eye and Greater Scaups heads. When the light is dull the heads appear black, as displayed in some of my photos.

Thanks for looking.

Jason

Awesome set. Ducks look great. Hawks are really nice ,tons of detail. SEO are always a favorite, the one in the pine tree is special. Quality set.

These are incredible. Are you shooting from a blind or just laying on the ground for the ducks?

This is an excellent set, Jason. IMO, this should be posted as two sets, one for the raptors and the other for ducks, both will be standouts! Voted.

Thanks for commenting. I sat on the ground with my lens resting between my feet and the camera LCD tilted up. While positioned like this it often takes me some 'hunting' to find the subject and adjusting camera settings is difficult and error prone.

#10 is legend-status stuff. I always ask myself if a shot would gain the interest of someone who 1) isn't particularly into photography and 2) isn't especially into the subject, and #10 would grab anyone!

A very impressive set of images, Jason! Not to take away from the hawk and other images but the SEO images are exquisite - I love them!
