p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Mr. Colorful


As we have had spring like weather the birds are all exhibiting mating behavior. With this going on there paying attention to the opposite sex and not me so I was able to sit at the edge of the lake at Kissena Park and they swam right up to me. I used the LCD on my camera to compose with the camera resting on my knee.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

I'm always surprised to see that birds have tongues :-) He sure is "Mr. Colorful," and you captured him beautifully.

Love this shot Morris. Really captures the colors of the duck. The tongue is a bonus.

Nice capture with your Wood duck portrait. Kind of early to see them in full colour this time of year.

great shot morris. i think to secret to your technique is that you have the local birds trained to recognize you and start posing. i say that with a little touch of envy. seriously, wonderful shot. thanks for sharing.
