anyone know what type of duck this is? I don't believe i've seen this variety before.

the duck is an american wigeon the other is just an old coot.

I'd seriously debate the 28 G if you are thinking about a bit wider TJ but that is just me...an old fast 20 MF Nikkor on DX will do amazing stuff too look at Pierro.

The 28 1.8G or the 28 2.8D? I have looked at both and am wondering how they would fare in comparison to the 35 1.8G. These decisions are so tough...

Thanks Ron! The place is filled with old coots LOL but I have never seen the American Wigeon before. I like to identify what I see but sometimes I haven't a clue

the other is just an old coot.

Be careful now, I resemble that remark! :distracted:

maybe we can form an old coot group. You can be admin since your facial hair is longer than mine, give you patriarchal look.

Cool shot Tami! Which lens did you use for this, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks! I don't mind at all I used the 55-300VR Lens.

Great lens isn't it?

It's a little slow and I've missed a few shots but I really love the extended focal length. And I do LOVE the lens I did contemplate the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 ED IF VR II but I passed on it. I have heard they are close in quality and since the 55-300 f/4.5-5.6 ED VR II was cheaper I ended up going with it. If I use it a bit more frequently I will get more familiar with it and be better able to compensate for it's limitations.

Opps this is actually a green leaf bug. Its green may but should have realised it wasnt alien enough to be a mantis. Im not that great at bug identification

Affectionately referred to as the katydid! More closely related to the cricket than to the grasshopper.

Haven't been able to get out and shoot much lately. But got a few of this pretty little bird today.

 

[Tami Jo]

He was at the very top of the tree, waited to see if he'd come down and he wasn't interested. Maybe next time.

TJ....just a personal thought: your watermark still seems to be just a little too big. See how it runs into that tree the bird is sitting on? A little distracting. Maybe a font size or 2 down would would work better.......what do you think? Like I said, this is just a personal opinion.

This was taken in late October before the field was harvested. These birds were enjoying a feeding frenzy and offering the observers a splendid display.
