Spring Waterfowl Thread

[Todd Caswell]

I love to hunt waterfowl but I have to say this is my favorite time of the year for taking pictures of them, I look forward to this time of the year almost as much as hunting season, so post up your images..

Nice idea Todd.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I'm pumped that I may actually be able to get in on this one this year.. mine will be the ones that dont look as good as all the others. LOL

Decided to pop down to the river. Lotta geese!

[Sturg]

The snow is melting, the low spots flooding, the waterfowl arriving(Washington County this morning)

Honkers, mallards, black duck, woodies, and ring necks together in the flooded corn.

Tundra swans stop-over in a flooded field.

[Lunker]

Tons of canvasbacks, buffies, bluebills, and other divers hanging out on Pool 8 right now. Lots of shovelers on the smaller waters. Also the geese and a number of pelicans if anyone is looking for an area for some photos.

All these are from the Chippewa River, by Alexandria.

I'm having a tough time of it this year, I can't pick the sweet spot to set up to save my AZZ, been wrong almost almost everytime.. Here's a few from the past couple days, it's been a slow migration so far or so it seems around here..

[Paul]

Todd, I wouldn't complain about those. the woodie shots are awesome. I have been trying to years to get a decent shot of a woodie. but to no avail.

[Deitz Dittrich]

yeah- no doubt, those are quite grand!!!

[eyeguy 54]

[Gordie]

Todd I love the Ringnecks

[Sturg]

I saw these little ones on the way to work. Count the feet and then the heads

They did make it across the busy morning traffic

[MN Shutterbug]

Thought I'd mix things up and toss a video in here.

[Deitz Dittrich]

This girl decided to lay eggs in a very busy drive way... They have two young kids, live across the street from me.. But I thought it was the perfect chance for me to join in on the thread..

Here is another, Not the best shot, but love the basketball in the background.. its unique..

ok, no birds, but I liked this shot.
