D80 Sigma 70-200@130MM f-2.8 Shot in Metrix ISO 100 SS 1/15 WB Sunny
On my stomach for this one of the Courting Couple of Mandarin Ducks. Lots of head bobbing and beak tapping and then it was off to the Bush's along side the pond for this PAIR. They had several active nest a the Flamingo habitat all in ground box's and pretty much out of view.

  These days I may have to stay down, a while back I got down to take the Wilson Creek shot of the cannon, I was like a beached whale out there on the lawn. So she caved in and went to the bush with him. They never learn LOL.
