Long-tailed Duck

Barrow, AK

D4, 600, ISO 1250, f8, 1/4000

I'm loving all the long-tailed duck images posted. Here's one of a male in full breeding plumage.

Great two tone background, perfect shooting angle with nice down wing pose and the breeding plumage looks great, Alan.

Super sweet Alan. I have never even seen this species in breeding plumage. We only see them in winter plumage around here.

Great shot Alan! It has all the components to a solid BIF shot. Never seen one in breeding plumage. What a cool transformation. Like the comp too.
