This is supposed to be the fastest flying water bird, speeding at 129 Km/h, but the Long-tailed Duck still looks faster to me. Maybe because it is smaller and more erratic in flight.
Thanks for looking.

Great dorsal view in nice light. I like the wing position and the water color really makes the hen pop. Well done.

Hey Karl,

This perfect flight shot probably answers my question of how good the 2nd version of the 100-400 is. Congrats!
