| Ring-necked Duck |
I am having one of the slowest starts to a birding year ever. Actually, only in one year have I seen fewer birds in the first 4 days than the 19 seen so far. The previous lowest was 16 in 2013 my second year of birding but for the last 10 years, I've averaged 37 species in those first few days. I am not too worried though, the big year was last year but this year I am just chilling and working on my photography. I got a welcoming start yesterday, January 3rd, when I came upon this very cooperative group of Ring-necked Ducks (Aythya collaris) at a small pond. The light was variable so I used a tripod. Here are a few of the images taken with a Canon 7D II, with a Sigma 160 - 600mm contemporary lens.
