This month I made another trip to the South Platte River to make some test images close to the end of the day at a weekend.
I was pleased to capture both these images of a pair of Bufflehead Ducks. They allowed be to get a little closer. In this second image, they made a turn to head back downstream.
I found a group of Gadwall swimming in the river, and captured this image.
Close to the parking lot, I found a mating pair of Ring-Neck Ducks. In this image, the rocks and far river bank, made some striking reflections. The male was swimming through reflected pools of color, with a stream of water dribbling from his bill.
For all the above images, I was testing my zoom lens with a tele-converter. I was really impressed with the quality of the images, where most of the images were under overcast skies.
