A must see video! This crazy cameraman assaults a flock of ducks in attempt to save money on food! Ok, well... not really; but it's really hard to get some attention on this steemit thing, so I thought

Such cute little feathered creatures these Wood Duck ducklings are! It's hard not to point a camera at them and capture their behaviour :) If they're not hunting down bugs, they're doing some preening

I was happy to find this new migrant at Beaver Lake :) It was the first scaup of the season and it just popped out from under the water to my delight! Trying to differentiate the Greater and Lesser Scaup

Male Mallard making love to female Mallard :p
There's no privacy at Beaver Lake, and the Mallards know it :) So when I see them bobbing their heads up and down, I know what is coming next! Mallards have been going at it for a while now and the more

Time-lapse of a Siwash Rock windy and cloudy sunset
The day was wet, cold and windy, so I was surprised that the sun managed to say hello before setting for the day :) The clouds were moving quite fast, so I thought it might be a good time for a sunset

This cute little swallow was catching bugs over the beach/ocean when it decided to take a break on the busy sea wall. I haven't had much luck capturing this type of swallow, so this is the best I've got
