Wildlife from NV / UT - Waterfowl also.

[hendenhook]

I was down in the high desert area of NV and UT recently and got to take a few shots of the wildlife that I ran into. There seemed to be less ducks in the ponds as the week progressed so maybe they're starting to head this way - but none of the waterfowl shown here are known as great fliers so it may take them awhile to make the trip north.

Gambel's Quail

Young Buck Antelope

Ruddy's - not the greatest fliers but some good colors.

The American Coot - another great Aviator.

Northern Shoveler - aka the Spoonbill.

Pied-Billed Grebe

Excellent shots! My favorites are the quail and the Pied-Billed Grebe

I love that quail. I've never personally seen one.

Gotta love those little ruddy's! They are a real cool duck, little bitty fella's that think they are Billy Bad As. I always N Joy watching them when out hunting. It was a Ruddy duck that I used to train my first lab with. Was small enough that I could actually throw it beyond the decoys that I had set out. Thanks for sharing. Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Very nice. The water is interesting as well as the critters.

That quail is pretty cool. Can't wait for some of those ducks up here.
