   1. That’s cool. I have a few shots like that — mostly mayflies.

3. Nice one!

4. It’s been proven over and over again that the so-called “Mallard Explosion” was merely an artifact of Noah’s flood.

5. As they say in Carolina, O I C – M R Ducks. M R!

6. I was expecting more blood.

   1. Or, perhaps, hoping. 🙂

      1. This photo was taken from my main duck blind. There is excellent duck hunting here, as you can imagine. I more like the idea of duck hunting than the actual killing, but when a friend with a good retriever comes by it’s on.

   2. Nice bloodless explosion.

      I was expecting at least one shoveler or wigeon, but I can’t find any. Not even a coot.

      1. We get occasional wigeon and coots. No shovelers that I’ve seen. Some mergansers, and cinnamon teal in the fall. Mallards and Canada geese are the major targets for game-bird waterfowl. Lots of protected trumpeter swans. Snow geese, but not an extraordinary number of them.

7. Fantastic photo! I’d like a huge wall poster of that in my living room!

   1. It’s a pretty hi-res photo. I can send you a copy if you like. I might have this printed for myself.

      1. The Mother-Out-Law has a thing for ducks and I’ve never shot her anything near as beautiful as this photo. May I print her one? Perfect for Xmas.

         1. If you post you email, or somehow get it to me, I’ll send you a full res copy.
