Some Mergansers

[mountaindew]

Hey guys..

Shot these mergansers and other ducks from yesterday during my lunch break on a pond a couple miles from Henderson. They're not nearly as good as Mike's (buzzsaw) pics.

Some are cropped, some full frame. All taken with canon 40D, 100-400mm, 1/1000 sec., F6.3, ISO 400.

As soon I walked up to the pond, ducks were flying off pretty fast everywhere!

There are lots of pics here on this post (8 pics)....so bear with me!

Marc, some of these mergies are just as good as anybody elses that have been posted. You did real well with the ducks in flight. The only thing against you on the first couple, was the bright sun. These are the best you've posted thus far.

Great pics. There is no open water near hutch so I am in envy of your Photos. It's been a very long winter and all these sings of spring are making me anxious.

Ditt what MM said, I like that can shot.

As X said, the last few are real nice. I especially like the Cans as well.

Thanks guys! Looking to get back out there again later this week!

Nice cans!

[buzzsaw]

Good job! Do you ever setup in a clind?

[dukhnt]

Nice can shot.

[mountaindew]

Duh-oh! They're not mergansers. They're Canvasback ducks.

Should have verified by looking up the good old bird book heh?

Thanks guys! It was fun shooting them with the camera!

Mike, No I didn't have the blind set up. I was on my lunch break during that time. Been thinking about setting up a blind. That's a good idea.
