Mating has begun here, this hen had been chased all over the place by 3 drakes, and finally got out of the water to let them fight it out. This one is stretching My range to the max, 6X optical, from the Olympus C2500L. Also testing a new compression program, want to see how it holds up.

Lynn61 degrees and blowing right now, but the Sun is shining. The migrant birds have gone North and the migrant humans have come South, and it has been too busy for Me to shoot at My favorite locations. Been going over photomaps for new ponds to try to get to, programming coords in to My GPS, for an attempt in next few days. This, BTW, is an amazing way to learn new things about Your own area. Coming this way and You have a GPS let Me know, i'll post some good photo coordinates for You. Amazing technology.

Well it isn't exactly a duck, but close.
