While out in California, I noticed Jim Salywoda watching a pair of Pintails. I joined him and we photographed them floating on the water for a couple of minutes. Suddenly they exploded out of the water. This handsome Drake gave me a couple of great frames as he flew by. This is probably one of my all-time favorite duck flight shots.
