Nine days ago at Bear River MBR this drake Northern Shoveler took off from one part of the pond in front of me and flew a short distance (perhaps 100′) to another part of the same pond. I didn’t get any photos of him right at liftoff but I managed to acquire focus on him in mid-flight and get some shots I like.<\/p>\n

This one’s a little different but I have a fondness for what I call “peekaboo shots”. It may or may not float your boat.<\/p>\n

Here he’s already beginning to lose elevation just prior to landing in the water amongst a group of other shovelers. I like the almost full extension of his backswept wings.<\/p>\n

I was fortunate enough to get 21 sharp shots of him in flight but of course I couldn’t post them all. There’s such a thing as too much of a good thing so I chose three of them that appealed to me.<\/p>\n
