Pintail Takeoff

Pintail Takeoff (Image# 100124_1001614)

I went looking for ducks on the Platte River this morning. I found a great many ducks but they were remarkably skittish.   I plan to try again with a bind, but even without one I still came away with a couple of reasonably good images, including this photo of a Northern Pintail (Anas acuta) taking flight.  Light levels were too low for sharp images of birds in flight, so I went for a slightly blurred look instead.  As always, click on the image for a larger/sharper version.
