Avian Image of the Week for the week ending August 31st, 2012: Josh Clark - Black-bellied Whistling Duck
Congratulations Josh!
Whenever I am in Ocala Florida I try and make it a point to photograph these guys. This was taken at a private residence in Florida. Pretty regular visitors at this location during the summer months. Always fun to photograph. Came away with lots of portrait shots. I liked this one in particular because it is different from the norm. The neck trails off into the grass because the duck was on the backside of a down slope from a hill giving the image this appearance. Thanks for looking and C&C is always welcome and appreciated.
