This first one is the closest a bird has ever let me get. He didn't budge even when I was within 5-6 feet. For a while I thought I was looking stupid photographing what appeared to be a bird statue.


I used to bring my camera to work and go to the local park on lunch as a form of stress relief. It was nice, especially when the ducks were posing for family portraits.

Nice pictures JBeckwith

And one morning out paddling in my canoe, I come around a point and there are three mergansers sleeping on the water near a dock...... I take out the camera and spend the next 20 minutes drifting towards them in a light breeze. As I got closer I realized they were very well colored plastic decoys...

I agree with you. My vote also. It looks like a fighter jet. 8) Nice one IslanderMV.

I love that bird too. I watch them flying while kayaking, they are amazing flyers, especially when they dive for fish.

Hummies, they're just so difficult to shoot!
Got these trying to vie for the sugar feeder, just can't focus as fast as they flutter about. My apologies for softness in focus.
