I have not posted in a while due to being on vacation but now that I am back I thought I would post a shot from Crandon a few weeks ago. I was down there for a meeting and Sandy was nice enough to recommend it so I went over when I had a break.

Anyway, I have seen these posted here but for the life of me cannot remember their name (I know EJ has posted some very nice ones). Anyway, I wish I could have got a lower shooting angle but the bank was high where they were hanging out. Thanks for looking:

This is "Pancho" our main duck at Crandon Gardens...well at least his breed. Great one of this Red Pochard.

Not a Red Pochard - a Red-crested Pochard!

Of all the times that I was at Crandon this guy would never give me the time of day. Glad that you got such a nice shot. If you have many other images from Crandon that need an ID, you might visit Sandy's website. I think he shot just about everything that was there and has them posted. Nice job with this beauty.
