I just had a great outing to Ontario's Presqu'ile Provincial Park, which is a staging area for thousands of ducks, swans and geese. My main target was long-tailed ducks and I managed to get close-up shots of both adult and immature males and females; as usual, if you wait long enough, they'll come to you. Overall, I counted 19 waterfowl species and I probably missed a few more.
Two record holders in this set: of all ducks, long-tailed spend the most time underwater and red-breasted mergansers have the speed record.
Most of the shots below - and all in-flight shots - were taken at 1200mm.
Hope you like what you see!
