Rainy day surprises...

[SARtech]

Was not even going to try to photograph anything last Sunday at the terminal because it was raining all day, but decided to go out and look anyway. Actually got a couple interesting ones of a cardinal, a deer couple including flying geese, and a surprise find; a pair of mallards built their nest under the barge dock. I found it by accidentally frightening mama to fly out from under when I walked out to the docking pad. I was actually shooting dad as he was swimming away at the time. She flew out sqwaking and when I looked down between the crack, I could see 2 eggs layed so far. When she not there sometime, I'll attempt to get a shot of the eggs.

The third one could actually be a candidate for a wildlife painting.

That's what I thought too Mike. It's kind of water-color like. I call this shot 2 plus 2. I thought it was rare to catch 2 deer (hard to see one of them though) and 2 geese in the same shot.

That black duck under the bridge is pretty cool.
