As mmeyer stated in his post, we went searching for eagles. That didn't pan out but atleast some waterfowl cooperated.

Black Ducks

Pintails - cropped alot, but hey they are pintails in MN

[Dbl]

Nice group of shots!

[MN Shutterbug]

Real nice flight shots. That's quite the buns on that last hen.

[Jack The Ripped]

I think these are great!!

How many will make ODN this week??

That band on the goose does not look real comfortable.

Nice Job!!!

[mmeyer]

Nice stuff buddy! My favorite is the flock of greenheads.

[DMN]

Nice shots, I like the flying greenhead flock the best.

[pumpkinfisher]

Any idea what that collar is used for? Any particular study?

[Dbl]

I do know they used to band the Giant Canada goose, the ones I remember seeing had narrower bands but that was a while back.

If I find out I will let you know, I did report the band.

Buzz - Thanks for the update. Good to see more variety is coming up. I did see the hooded mergs on Friday. Today I spotted some bufflehead, ring neck ducks, hooded and common mergs around home.

Thanks to all for looking and commenting!

That last female mallard in flight is totally awesome, great composition and sharpness. I also enjoy that tight flock of mallards in flight. Very nice images.

[Pickelfarmer]

8th is the greatest shot I have seen in a long time!!! There all great but I love number 8 for sure. Good job.

[Steve Foss]

Nice images, Josh. For me it's No. 1 and No. 8.
