After some cooler weather rolled in a few days back, I decided to go out to the 'Hornsby Bend Bird Observatory' and shoot some ducks. Other than a bunch of Coots, there were quite a few Northern Shovelers out in the ponds. Problem is they tended to stay out a ways and generally liked to irritate me by taking off in the opposite direction -- showing me their butts -- funny how that works!
On the way out there was a large flock of Starlings in the trees and I managed a couple decent shots of one.

Nice set of shoveler images Greg. I was starting to wonder where the males were when you finely showed them. Great detail on the Starlings and I like the wing positions.

It's always fun to " shoot" ducks. Good job on this set Greg.

Thanks Bruce. I guess they're called 'Shovelers' for a reason.

Thanks Morris! I wish I had had more time out there, but got a late start and had to cut it shorter than I wanted -- but then that is generally case for me.
