Going with Mottled Duck. Bill looks longer than usual, but it could just be the angle.

On Wednesday, I was heading to Wako. Skies were clear and I had the D7100 and the Tamzooka on the bike. We had to make a stop. When we came out of the store, it was getting gray. I managed to get a tad wet before reaching our house.

Yesterday, the skies were dark and gray, so I put the D5100 with the 18-200mm lens on my bike. Hadn't planned on going to Wako, but wound up there and not a drop of rain.

Not much wildlife, so I started shooting Fire Flag Flowers, which BTW are quite tasty. Check for ants before consuming.

It figures the Osprey would be out and about when I don't have the Tamzooka. Highly cropped.

These are for you @kevin_H. The male was on a branch when I got to Green Cay and wound up at the feeder by the time I got the camera out of the bag.
