Male Gadwall

[Bonnie Block]

Had a wonderful time yesterday with fellow BPN member Bob Lund and his friend Doug Parrot. They took me to a new site for me in the Seatlle area--saw a bunch of species I never see on my side of the water only 30 miles away.:confused: Unfortunately, the good light was very fleeting.
Can't believe I never had seen a Gadwall!

Love the pose here Bonnie and the excellent detail. Great eye contact and good composition. Happy for you that you were able to meet some fellow BPNers and look forward to your future posts.

Great to find new spots and nice people. I like the mood and eye contact. A lower angle would have helped to avoid having the other trunk in the BG.

another cutie Bonnie.....that bit of orange on the bill really pulls this together
