Last Tuesday, I had to get out of the house. Decided to head up to Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge. That called for an “O Dark Thirty” wake-up so I could get there around 7am.
There are a couple of photography groups that we belong to that are going to visit the refuge in the next week or two and I kind of wanted to scout stuff out. With the weather we have had, I was not sure if I was going to be early or late in the migration. Our normal migration pattern calls for the 2nd week in March to the end of March for waterfowl.
After being there, I think I might have been early for ducks and late for snow geese.
In any event, I tried to knock off some more of that Winter’s Rust. Here are a few that I liked.
- 1st shot of the day at the water control parking lot
- Shooting back to where the ducks were from where I thought they would be
- Lots of Ring-necked Ducks around
- Green Wing Teal buzzing my position
- Maybe not faster than a speeding bullet but fast enough for this guy
- A handsome wood duck drake in courting colors
- Drake and Hen Wood Duck– where she goes, he will follow
- Two Green Wing Teal with urgent business elsewhere
- My favorite
- Hen Green WingTeal in flight
