Ducks have been showing up around the various ponds I frequent and I was hoping for some decent in-flight views. The ducks had other ideas this day and kept their flight patterns close to the marsh grass.

A Great Blue Heron was a little more obliging as he winged past me.

You captured the Great Blue Heron, very well, Ellen. Amazing how the sun enlightens his eye!
Thanks, Greta! It is, their eyes can go from nothing to a spectacle with just a slight shift in angle.
