Moments Captured this Spring

The camera was out with me during the spring and late winter when the geese and ducks were heading back north. Trying to capture their bright spring plumage, I managed to get a few keepers. I also had some great opportunites to capture beautiful sunsets with the local co-op in the background.

#1. A female wood duck flying off a near by creek.



#2. A drake and female resting on a flooded waterway.



#3. A triplet of Pintails. How I wish they came through like this in the fall instead of the spring.



#4. I got alittle too close for this big guys comfort and he tried to get away.



#5. A pair protecting their space on the water.


#6. This guy meant business.



#7. A mom and her goslings on the golf course. Can't believe these little fuzz balls grow up to be 12lbs Canada's.



#8. One of my favorite pictures taken which almost didn't happen until I turned around after I heard the honk. The sunset, farmers coop, and a nice string of geese make this shot superb.




#9. Another sunset captured in late winter with beautiful colors.



#10. A nice sunrise over the town of Yale.

#11. Alittle to much frost on this rain gauge.
