The weather forecast for last Friday suggested that the ponds along the Jersey Shore would be free of ice, so we headed off in search of waterfowl. The Hooded Merganser is always a target bird for me when I go there, and we were not disappointed in their numbers. But they generally kept their distance, as is their wont, and there weren't many places to get a low POV. I missed a few opportunities at flight shots, but I was prepared for this wing flap even if he was a bit far away.
D7200, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 1250, 1/2000s @ f/6.3 manual. Lowered Gitzo and Mongoose.
