Shot at local slough in Nd We have plenty of Pintails just hard to get a good shot. They like weedy areas and roadside ditches and unsuitable for photos muddy puddles in crops. In over a month I have only had pintails on this pond a couple of times. I can leave and see them in the weeds a hundred feet away frustrating.Then they only stay for a few minutes. And on top of that one of our more skittish ducks.Hard to believe how birds react in different parts of the country. I have been in Nd going on five years.
I can't even get close to a Great Blue Heron. They see you a quarter mile away in a vehicle and they are gone.Processed in Dpp 4,Photoshop and neat image. Full frame no crop. Thanks for comments and critiques.
