This is a Northern Pintail.. Male..

The light was getting quite low so sorry for the soft or fuzzy focus! Had to shoot on ISO 800. And Dang was it cold out 34 degrees!! Didn't bring the tripod along..Didn't know we were going duck looking... :)

They are beautiful!! I also love the color on the water - very nice shots, Sheri!! aknor · 2008-01-14: 22:58

Nice capture. I really love how he posed for you. dweiskir · 2008-01-14: 23:08

Wonderful! Even ducks need to exercise. =) Perhaps I should take lessons from a duck! MHJphotos · 2008-01-14: 23:12

great duck set. My daughter had to cover the school athletics yesterday afternoon and action at low light is a problem slowpete · 2008-01-15: 01:04

They are fantastic! I really like his pose in 1 & 3. And I think the two ducks add balance in #3! vollenda · 2008-01-15: 01:35

Fantastic Sheri.. chrisfly · 2008-01-15: 09:52

i'm glad you left the other two duck in for #3 - it's my favorite! and 34 degrees - come one sheri, that's like spring time weather! i'm looking forward to chicago's high of 9 degrees on saturday... ok, not really... (and then there's all our blogger friend in alaska who are laughing at me for even that low of temp.) lexlevans · 2008-01-15: 10:06
