The closest I’ve ever gotten to an Aythya duck, and one of my favorites too! A Redhead in the sun.

Hm, not sure. Maybe 40-30 feet?

Canada Goose let me get within 2 feet of it!

So we pull up in our driveway near dusk and this gorgeous Barred Owl is just over the fence in our backyard.  You can see the rays from the setting sun in his feathers.

Florida is rich with birds! It actually doesn't hold a candle to Colorado in the winter for ducks and geese though. Colorado gets more species and higher numbers of ducks and geese. I bet Kansas is the same. I live in the NE portion of Florida where ducks and geese are really limited though there is no shortage of water. I have to travel 2 plus hours to get to places that have a good variety.

I finally got within 20 yards of one today, and was finally able to get a half-decent photo of a Canvasback

So is coastal SoCal, where I’m located. But of course, it’s different...
