Heads Up!

 

And now for something completely different!  I love the things I can shoot in close-up with my long lens!  I can zero in on a small happening in nature.  These three Mallards were feeding at the time.  They are foraging aquatic vegetation on the bottom of the harbor.  This is a feeding technique that they prefer and use most often.  What's funny is that when the tide goes out, they could just walk over to where they are now and eat, but they don't.  The trick for me was timing.  I would see one with head down and two with heads up.  Then two with heads down and one with heads up.  I stood in one spot for several minutes before I got this perfect shot!
