Another one from this past weekend. This was the bird I was photographing when the Osprey (about 10 photos beyond this one!) rolled by. 

Canon 400mm f/4 IS DO II on EOS 1DIV
1/4000 at f/5.6, ISO 800, handheld, on stomach in mud and goose crap........

Cheers!

Dorian

Wonderful, Dorian. I really like dark BG's with Wood Ducks. Maybe you can root for some CA snow to cover the goose poop!

Best,

Matt

Striking Color, Dorian. Love the surrounding green water as it sets off the Wood Duck so nicely.
