"Mallards @ Mackey Island"

Every winter I spend quite amount of time photographing landscapes and wildlife. I've grown to have a passion for birds in flight but I also love the challenge the ducks give us here. Don't get me wrong I do wish I could mossy up close and real off dozens of frames but that's not the case here on the Outer Banks. Thanks to telephoto lens, fast cameras, ground blinds, and a lot of work we get as close as we can. This image of two pairs of Mallards was the only shot I was able to pull off, the rest of my attempts came up way short. That's duck hunting with the lens of course!!!

Enjoy
