Wyandotte Canvasbacks - 18 Feb 2007
1430 Hrs. It is Sunday afternoon and we’ve just returned from up north. I ran down to the river to check for ducks, and what sunshine we had quickly has disappeared. Nothing of note at the marinas, so I headed w/ scope down to Ecorse Park.
There’s a large raft of Canvasback on the river close to shore, and I get a few pics w/ the camera and w/ digiscoping. A small flock of Cans fly by and get a couple of flight shots.
As I stood quietly along the river’s edge, a male Common Goldeneye floated by unaware of me as it preened quietly below me. After a half dozen shots it moved onward.
A female Redhead, then male Redhead floated by and I got some nice closeups before they moved on.
I spent the rest of the time trying to digiscope the large raft of Canvasback, but the cloudy weather and cold made it difficult to get anything but fair images.
