Ducks in Flight

Posted bybirdsinmyviewfinderPosted inUncategorized

The ducks featured in my previous post were not all resting at the mouth of the river or diving. Some were flying in from the ocean and some were just moving from one part of the raft to another. Ducks are a big part of the winter bird scene here in Massachusetts so I will be featuring them a lot for the next few months. Here are some action shots.
