Bling! Mallard Hen Banded pic!

Killerbee where you at?? Your my inspiration behind this picture. I about flipped when I saw this. I pretty much gave myself a zero percent chance of getting this shot. I'm still in SHOCK!

I know it's not the best shot, but I'm flipping ESTACTIC!

Especially considering there isn't that many Mallards in my area, but now at now at least one is banded. Have to find her again. :) Yea RIGHT! :))

If I could have got the wings down or not clipped them off, this would have been an AMAZING shot. Perfect lighting!

Probably my best shot of the day.

Come to think of it, now that your doing request's, How about a mallard drake banking sharply to his left and glancing with steely eye's toward the camera! -%
