gorgeous day today, sunny, blue sky, temp near 60, so i packed up my gear and headed to my favorite park. i don't get there as often as i'd like any more... it's a 30 mile drive, and with gas near $4 and the weather as iffy as it is this time of year, i wait till i can count on spending an afternoon there. the 100-400 doesn't give me as much reach as i'd like on the 5D2, but it's quite often just enough... especially if the wood ducks cooperate and come in close!

Very nice series of shots Rocky. I love the feather detail in #3. Well done. Cheers

Great shots Rocky, Glad the one was willing to take a bow for you at the end of your session

Wonderful photos - great light and detail, and wood ducks are such lovely birds...

Everyone else has already said it. Wonderful shots, and the last one does look like a parting bow.
