these guys had places to be! i don't usually photograph mallards much... they're common as dirt here, and are often more of a nuisance than a subject. but in flight, they're often very graceful (as well as very fast!), and every once in a while i'll shoot some just for practice.... ;-)

Squirl, very good. Sharp as a tack. Can we see more?

Great shots. Maybe you could send the Mallards my way so I can get in some practice.
