This Cinnamon Teal (Anas cyanoptera) is another image from my very productive local marsh. I’ve never seen so many of these beautiful ducks in one spot. Be sure to click on the image for a larger view — this looks much better big.

Went back for another crack at the many ducks wintering on the Platte. The ducks were very skittish (and the gunfire from adjacent hunting areas didn’t help matters). Still, I’m pleased to come away with this image for Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata). Hopefully I can improve my stalking technique and put a lens on some other ducks. 
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. 
When I migrated my old site over to the current one, I left out a number of photos that do not represent my best work. This mallard image didn’t make the cut. My brother likes this one enough, however, to complain that he could no longer find it. By request (and after more carefully evaluating the image) I’ve added it back to the bird portfolio. [SinglePic not found] Denver (finally) had its first appreciable snowfall of the year on Friday night, which meant that Saturday was a very good day for fox photography. As you will see, the foxes really “pop” against a snowy background, and the snow makes it much easier to simplify the fox images and minimize the visual clutter of their brushy habitat. Here are a few of the best images from this morning, plus a duck photo for good measure:
