It's always such a challenge for me to get a shot of these birds. Today I was lucky to see a group of about 9 of them. This is heavily cropped but it's better than the backside shots I usually get as they paddle away furiously!

This is such a stunning image of this beautiful duck! Super detail! I hope it's ok to "heavily crop" because I do it all the time. How else do you get a reasonable picture of birds way up high and far off? :) I'm thrilled that the cameras today are capable of heavy cropping while still maintaining a useable image!
