Very nice Donna. I really like how you captured the forward duck in the first image with one foot up. Could be used as a motivational poster "One step at a time." BTW, while they are visiting Alabama are they whistling 'Dixie'?

I'm not much of a birder, but your images are so good you make me want to be!

wow donna...I came pretty close to quacking up when I saw your shots of those 2
uniquely colored and so cute whistling ducks...it looks like they are posing especially for you!
tell me your secret...how did you get them to do that? did you let your voice ring out and sing
an alabama song for them? song of the south? Dixieland delight? sweet home alabama?
or maybe i'm going to alabama with a banjo on my knee? however you did it...the happy couple
is just ducky and so adorable and I love the awesome shots.

Very nice Donna. I love the first two. Thanks for sharing, and bringing to my attention. I have never seen these before.

So very good Donna! Everything about them. Beautiful! Do you find that lens to be heavy?
