Twenty Minutes Ago

Just a quick shot out our breakfast room window. Had two Sandhill Cranes at the same time but they were behind the bushes so unfortunately no clear view. Fifteen Shovelers, six Blue Wing Teal, a pair of Buffelheads, nine Mallards, and those miserable Canada Geese. Bluebirds are building a nest in one of the boxes, I guess spring is arriving in Wisconsin. However, the ground is covered with snow. Thanks for looking. - John

John, I wish this were the view from my breakfast window-Wow sounds like you get quite a selection! I think the image would be stronger w/o the OOF FG ducks-Would be nice to see you zoom in on one of those Shovelers-I don't get a chance to see many by my house-Thanks for sharing and I 'll look forward to more.

Hi Al, I'll take your suggestion as soon as you loan me your lens that covers from 10-1000mm DOF all in one image. :-) - John

Here is one of the Sandhill Cranes that was here at the same time. You can see all the OOF bush branches in front of it. This was a portion of the yard where the snow was melting,
