Two images of American Wigeons overwintering in Ottawa, a rather rare occurrence.

Not to be outdone, the Missus starts her wing-flap whilst Mr Wigeon and the Mallards look on.

I can feel the cold looking at these two images. Both are beautifully shot with superb details and great color. Your timing was excellent especially with the wing span so detailed in the top image. Voted+

Great timing on this one for capturing the female wing span without large snowflakes!

Two lovely shots! The wigeon is such an attractive duck. You can see why it used to be called "Baldpate" in the old days!

Deze Amerikaanse smient staat er mooi op Hank.
Bij ons een zeldzame vogel.

Very nice find, Hank. At 92mm you were almost in the water with them!! The old 70-300mm is pretty sharp on the D800; with good colour.
