Just some baby/young ducks hanging out cleaning themselves up. Momma was right by in the water. They let me and my pitty get within 5ft of them and didn't seem to mind. My dog was more afraid of them than they were us! Shot with the R5/RF 70-200 @ 200mm. The trees were casting some nice light and created the vignette in front of the ducklings. I did have to brighten up the shadows on the face of the middle guy a bit.

Here the (common) migrants are back too. So far nothing breath-taking but this is my first Pacific Golden Plover for the season. And I like the light/background where I got it. After that a Mallard x Hawaiian Duck (Mallards are relatively rare visitors here, and on Oahu there is no real Hawaiian Duck - every thing is hybrids... and plenty of them:(). The last one (Saffron Finch) is for little bit more color - and I can't stop taking photos of them:confused:.
