Duck Hunting.

Just with a camera though. :-)

One advantage to being in the throes of winter is that most bodies of water are frozen over. Most, but not all. the remaining few serve as a gathering spot for birds, namely ducks and through necessity become more approachable by humans. (Us).

I did a little shooting last week, and though the light is tricky to deal with, did manage to make a few images of ducks ( and 1 Gull) that I normally wouldn't be able to get within a country mile of.

Enjoy!

More Eagles!

Eagle Watching!

Every Winter people flock to Sheffield Mills Nova Scotia to Eagle Watch/Photograph.

So, naturally I headed in the opposite direction to Pictou County. (Plus I was craving pizza from home).

It was quiet compared to recent weeks, where large numbers of Eagles also gather, but the light was good and I did manage to make a few decent images.

There were also lots of other birds around the waterways that remain open. Hooded Merganser, Common Merganser, Northern Pintail, American Widgeon, Greater Scaup, were the highlights.

I wish there was 24 hr sunlight like in the arctic, after ordering a large pizza, I was good for days!

Enjoy,
Gary
