The Ruddy Ducks have been back for a couple of weeks, but I haven't had the time to photograph them, until tonight, and I was so happy. I did stop after work, but the sun was pretty harsh at that time, so I planned to go back out before the sun set, during golden hour. I wasn't sure if they would be around, or how active they would be. Once I got there, I crawled on the grass and found a nice low spot, surrounded by tall reeds, it didn't take the ducks long to come around. The Ruddy ducks were all displaying still and I couldn't be happier to have spent some time with them. I took so many slow motion videos of them slapping their bills on their chests, which is one thing I have been trying to do since I added a new camera to my collection.
