Thanks guys. For some reason from time to time I don't get notified so I missed a bunch of great postings, so belated praise to the shooters.
My little pond is dead now, not sure why except for one situation Mrs. Bufflehead had 6 babies. She got killed and a few days later so did they - rather disconcerting. I know it's unlikely but I suspect the muskrat was involved in some of it.

As I watched Robin red-breast appeared in the willow.

Excellent pictures Jack! I especially like the first Wren, singing the leaves in the background to a brighter green
Very nice light & exposure!Wiebe.
P.S. For ISO2000 the picture is very low in noise... Must be the quality of your (camera
) body

Sorry to hear about that... It's the flip-side of nature I know, but thinking of those cute ducklings being killed ...
Where I live the muskrat is known to raid nests at times, so doesn't surprise me too much (apart from destroying dams and causing flooding - so they have a bad name here...)

Around here, it is snapping turtles that seem to be the great duckling predator.... any chance one found your pond?

Thanks guys.
Don, only once back in my childhood did I see a turtle in Alberta, up north, so seems not. However, there was a fox in the area when the ducklings disappeared. I was looking forward to following there growth ...
Wiebe, to this day I'm torn by my choice of the 1DX2 but there are features I no longer could live without. The 6D was good but the high ISO capability I have now is really appreciated. As for exposure, I seldom get it right and end up tweaking in post. I shoot in manual exposure 90% of the time and just watch the meter as I point at different objects with "linked to spot".
